Hey!! We took a week off.....and now were back to bust it all out. So here's our last list. We really apprieciate everyone sticking with us and givig us comments and suggestions. Hope ya love it.
1. The BIG CHILL Soundtrack- released in 1983, obviously right when the movie was out. I was disappointed to find out that the song " Can't Always Get What You Want" wasn't on this soundtrack. Besides this though, it is a really great disc. We all heard a little of it all ready, so if you like the Motown sounds of the sixties, it's a awesome disc to listen to. It really gets me hyped up.
2. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy- Sarah McLachlan. This disc was released in 1993. I really like this disc because I love her and I think that she is a very talented person. She is the head of the Lilith Fair Tour that started last year, which consists of all women artists. It was a hit and it's coming around again this year, so CHECK IT OUT!!! This disc is so emotional and really moves you when you listen. She has a beautiful voice and her lyrics are powerful. Songs include Posession, Wait, and Good Enough.
3. Nico- Blind Melon. This disc was released after the death of Shannon Hoon. It was made in 1996. This disc is a collection of mostly acoustic and mellow jams done by them before his death. I love this disc because it is emotional also and I really do believe that Blind Melon is highly talented and if Hoon hadn't died when he did, the band would have gone a long way. This disc includes songs such as No Rain, The Pusher, Soul One and St. Andrew's Hall. So if you haven't ever listened to them....get off your ass and go CD SHOPPING!!!
4. Paul's Boutique- Beastie Boys. This disc came out in 1989. It's kind of old school, but I think that this is the best of the Beastie Boys' Cd's. It actually really funny to listen to....it always makes me in a good mood. This disc followed their first big album "License to Ill". We all remember the song Fight For Your Right(To Party)...don't we??? Well this disc is a lot like that one but BETTER!! It includes songs such as Eggman, 3 Minute Rule, Hey Ladies, and Johnny Ryall.
5. Under the Pink- Tori Amos. This disc was released in 1994. The hit Cornflake Girl really started it for Tori, and also with the help of the movie "Higher Learning", because she did two songs on that soundtrack. I think she also had a lot to do with the big movement for women in the music business and also brought a new sound of piano. Her song God made a little controversy back then, but hey.....she's not afraid of saying what she thinks. This disc includes songs such as Icicle, God, Pretty Good Year, and of course Cornflake Girl. If you haven't listened to it all ready.....it will really move ya.
6. The Bends- Radiohead. This disc was released in 1994. It is a great disc and like I've said before....they are a VERY talented band and every disc they make is a true masterpiece....from start to finish. This disc has the hit High and Dry and also includes songs such as, The Bends, Fade Out and Fake Plastic Trees. They almost won album of the year this year with their new album...so hey take our advice and invest in some of thier works...
7. The best of Muddy Waters. This disc was released in 1987, but contains songs from 1955, 60's. Muddy Waters in my mind is the KING of the blues, because of his lyrics and strong 12bar blues rythem. Songs like, Rollin'Stone, Honey Bee,Hoochie Coochie Man, and Long Distance Call helped put Muddy Waters on the lists of Great Blues writers. We all get the Blues sometimes... so check out this album.
8.This is Jazz 8-Miles Davis/acoustic. This disc was released in 1996, and is more of a "best of" album to me. I love the sounds that Miles Davis jazzed out to and think highly of his ability to jump the walls of modern jazz. Trumpeter Miles Davis could be considered the Picasso of Jazz, and this disc is a perfect example.
9.'Natty Dread'- Bob Marley and the Wailers. Released in 1974, this album is a must for the "Rasta" ones out there like me. We all know Marley's phatty reggae sound, so you know that this is a must buy. Songs like, Lively Up Yourself, Revolution, No Woman, No Cry, and Rebel Music, are just some of the cool Songs that are on this great disc. So check it out!
10. Live Art- Bela Fleck and The Flecktones. This band has one of the best bass players ever, Mr. Victor Wooten. The sounds that this band mixes together are out of this world, anything from steel drums, funky bass, clarinet and mandolin. In a way, I would say that this band is a mix of Phish and Medeski Martin and Wood. Dont be shy, open your ears to some new sounds of music.
Thanks for your patronage and we love you:)-~~~~~~
