List of Records Worth Listening To (According to Me)



 1. Lindsey Buckingham - everything he's done is exquisite.  But for his best, calmest, most positive albums: OUT OF THE CRADLE ENDLESSLY ROCKING, UNDER THE SKIN, & THE SEEDS WE SOW

2. Tom Waits : NIGHTHAWKS AT THE DINER, SMALL CHANGE

3. Radiohead : OK COMPUTER, & AMNESIAC

4. Heather Nova - Siren

5. Wilco - SKY BLUE SKY

6. Aimee Mann - Lost in Space, Bachelor No. 2

7. Jeff Buckley

8. the EELS : Souljacker, my beautiful freak, electro-shock blues

9. Bob Dylan - BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, & TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN'.

10. JONI MITCHELL -still discovering her records.  BLUE/CLOUDS

11. Miles Davis - have so much more to listen to of his, but my favorite so far is BLUES AND BALLADS/PORGY & BESS

12. Annie Lennox - MEDUSA

13. Tori Amos - BOYS FOR PELE & LITTLE EARTHQUAKES

14. Madeleine Peyroux - especially HALF THE PERFECT WORLD

15. Lauryn Hill - THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL

16. All Patty Larkin - but she is getting better with age.  

17. Janis Ian - in particular BETWEEN THE LINES

18. Jackson Browne - THE PRETENDER & LATE FOR THE SKY

19. Francis Albert Sinatra & Antônio Carlos Jobim (1967)

20.  I've recently discovered the world of comedy albums.  They evolve in their own way just like a music record - but it's a lot more likely that you're going to laugh at some point.  It's not good if you forget about the funny in life.  Some greats: "Never Scared" by Chris Rock, "Live at the Met" by Robin Williams, "Live at the Borgata" by Lewis Black
