Have you ever listened to a song and felt that the music spoke to your soul? These records are not only great memories, but when I listen to them I feel like I am at home.
1. August and Everything After, The Counting Crows: My all time favorite album since I first heard it in 1994. Although everyone knows Mr. Jones or Rain King, I play the song Anna Begins over and over.
2. Legend, Bob Marley: Is it possible to listen to this album and not be happy by the end? And Redemption Song, has a better song ever been composed?
3. U2, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb: I was listening to this album when Ruby was born, I don't think she could have had a better introduction to the world around her.
4. Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill: The kind of music I can play over
and over and never tire of-- great beats, a beautiful voice, and powerful lyrics.
5. Sarah McLachlan, Surfacing: It is hard to find a Sarah album that I prefer over the others. I love her. Surfacing was the album that pulled me through a time in my life when I could only turn to my stereo and the open road to calm my heart and clear my mind.
6. The Cranberries, No Need to Argue: Some people hate the voice of the lead singer, but for me she does emo better than anyone else. This was the first non-Rap or R&B album I ever thought was fun to listen to.
7. Madonna, The Immaculate Collection: While her songs don't speak to me in a spiritual sense, in a very worldly way no one beats Madonna. The songs on this record remind me of every period of my life--childhood, college, motherhood. Madonna is sooo universal.
8. Bruce Springsteen, We Shall Overcome-The Seeger Sessions: If you ever thought a road trip was complete without this collection, you just don't know what you have been missing.
9. Frou Frou, Details: It changed my life.
10. Dido, No Angel: I guess the addition of this album should prove how much I loved Roswell and convince you all to add it to your Netflix queue.

I like these...and I like the idea...am I allowed to borrow it...since I have been failing again to post anything?
OK, fine. I added Roswell. It's going to take me years to catch up with all of your Netflix recommendations that I can't live without. :)
Wow I have to say that I'm surprised. There's a whole lot less hip hop than I expected in there.
I LOVE YOUR LIST!!! we have one that overlaps...and many that are
boarderline for me. isn't it awesome how music that people love really helps to define them? TTTs are the best! Just posted my list so tell me what you think...and YES anais!!! you are totally allowed!! We'd love it!!!
dastew--I had to make some cuts and in the end the Hip Hop industry turns out singles more than albums. I think that is why Lauryn Hill's debut album was so phenomenal. Close additions would be MC Solaar- Cinquieme As, P Diddy and the Bad Boy Family- The Saga Continues, Will Smith- Big Willy Style, and Salt n Pepa- Very Necessary.
daph-I know how you can watch tv when you have the time...it won't take years, just summer vacation.
anais-I am about to go to your blog and I hope to see Top Ten Tuesday already posted.
I posted my list on my blog this week. Thanks for letting me steal your ideas...
