Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $8.94 No CD in my collection has seen more spin time in the last year than Simple Times by Joshua Radin. If you only buy 1 CD from this list, make it this one. Folk or Whisper rock does not get better than this.

|
 | Something Else by Robin Thicke
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $2.34 Don't usually go for R&B because it mostly poorly recoded and has way to much thumpety thump. This is different. This is R&B old school and something very very special. HIGHLY RECOMMNED. Try the song "the sweetest love".
