 | Mariah Carey by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01 It was love at first listen. The moment I heard Mariah back in 1990 with her debut "Vision of Love", I knew the world of music was in for a fantastic ride. This self-titled album from Mariah Carey is one of my all-time favorites.

 | E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.71 E=MC² is a well balanced mix of Mariah Carey's trademark ballads and groovy dance tracks. With catchy songs like "I Stay in Love", "O.O.C.", "I'm that chick", "For the record", and "Bye Bye", E=MC² continues in the tradition of the best of her albums. This engergy formula most certainly works.

 | The Emancipation of Mimi by Mariah Carey
Buy used from: $0.29 One of her best efforts in years, Mariah Carey bounced back from personal troubles and and concocted an album that ended up being the best seller of 2005. Well deservedly so; especially since it contains such awesome tracks as "We Belong Together", "Mine Again", "Shake It Off", and "Don't Forget About Us".

 | Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $0.01 In her first album after ending her marriage with Sony Music's Tommy Mottola, Mariah Carey showed us how she can create a multi-genre album filled with beautiful music that her voice cannot help but carry with elegance.

 | The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $0.85 What can I say about Lauryn Hill that has not been said before. For all her personal problems because she felt that she was being forced to act perfect instead of the human that she is, Lauryn is enormously talented and this excellent album is a showcase of just what she is capable of.

 | Jagged Little Pill Acoustic by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $3.80 Some people may be astonished at this, but as brilliant as the original, anger-driven album is, I favor this acoustic version of Alanis' Jagged Little Pill. It is a balanced, well-thought out rendition that flows from start to finish.

 | The College Dropout by Kanye West
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $2.75 Most people are put off by how full of himself Kanye sounds most of the time, but no one denies that this is one very talented brother. Lyrics match songs to make an excellent album with a college theme.
|
 | Late Registration by Kanye West
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $2.19 It may require a few more listens than its highly acclaimed predecessor to get the brilliance of Late Registration, but it remains yet another excellent work from someone who not only makes albums that "sound like the best-of" but also produces hits for many a chart-topper.
|
 | Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $8.63 Jay-Z is one of the most respected talents in the music industry, and this album shows you that he has the musical goods to match his business acumen.
|
 | Wide Open Spaces by Dixie Chicks
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $0.27 This is not the first release by the Dixie Chicks to hit the music market but it was - certainly the first that made them the household name they are now. A thoroughly enjoyable album worth a place in every collection.
|
 | Taking the Long Way by Dixie Chicks
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $3.14 They courted trouble with remarks they made in relation to the war in Iraq. Things got out of hand for them to the point of threats against their lives. Their response was this defiant album in which they insisted that they were "not ready to make nice." Whatever the political implications, this album is the gem you would expect from this Country (or is it rock now) outfit.
