Lighthearted Friday Fun

Well, after the heavy week I've had, I thought it would be fun to talk about music today. Specifically, albums. I have a question for all of you? What is your favorite album? Now I will say I am not asking your favorite album OF ALL TIME because that's kind of hard. I'm willing to bet that you've had different favorite albums depending on the time of your life. At one time my favorite album was Madonna's True Blue but I'm not rocking that on my iPod today. And maybe one time my favorite album was Bobby Brown's Don't Be Cruel. And oh, Tori Amos's Little Earthquakes, how you understood all the angst of my youth.

You can also leave a comment about a favorite newer album, or an old favorite, or just any album that you deem comment-worthy. I'm looking for some ideas here. My spiff new Mazda5 actually has an input for iPod so I've been more into playlists and such lately. Also we bought a new docking station for the house and so I go from car to home with DH's super old iPod Nano that still works really well. He wanted to get me a new one for Christmas but I dunno, I'm all about using old stuff it works.

So ANYWAY, long story short is I'm looking for some inspiration. Some tunes to add to my rotation.

I will tell you my favorite album right now. It's definitely an oldie-but-goodie. Ben Harper's Welcome to the Cruel World. Lord, I love that album. I can listen to it like a thousand-million times...in a row. Ha ha I just read the Amazon editorial review for the album here and man, he really trashed it. Thanks Amazon, one of my favorite places, for trashing my favorite album. Screw you Geoffrey Himes, music reviewer man.

Okay people, spill it. Talk to me about albums.

  2. Stars' Set Yourself on Fire album is an entire album that I listen to A LOT when I just want to put in something and listen to the whole thing.
    Same goes for La Roux's self titled album. I like listening to that when I am doing housework. Because I'm lame and synth pop makes me clean faster, I don't know. :)
    Also Beirut's March of the Zapotec/Holland EP.
    The Very Best of Hall and Oates -- dude this is a very good album and I'm only half kidding.

    Ok that's all I got off the top of my head.
