Until this summer, I didn’t really own CDs; mostly, I bought and listened to music online.
In the last couple months I got a few as gifts, bought some used ones online or in record stores, and somehow ended up with over a dozen, as follows:
Rise Against:
Appeal to Reason
Siren Song of the Counter-Culture
Miles Davis:
Kind of Blue
In a Silent Way
Oscar Peterson and Count Basie:
Satch and Josh . . . . Again
McCoy Tyner:
Milestone Profiles [2 discs]
Bruce Springsteen:
The Essential Bruce Springsteen [3 discs]
Bob Marley:
One Love: The Very Best of Bob Marley
The Specials:
Specials
The Clash:
London Calling
The Toasters:
Skaboom!
New York Fever
Don’t Let The Bastards Grind You Down
And, in no particular order, here are other bands I like:
The Beatles, The English Beat, The Selecter, Westbound Train, The Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, The Ramones, Catch 22, Gimp, Streetlight Manifesto, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, Billy Joel, REM, Cream, Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Rancid, Desmond Dekker, The Mad Caddies, The Offspring, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Toots and the Maytals, The Skatalites, The Pietasters, The Planet Smashers, The Aquabats, The Cat Empire, Ленинград, and Sonny Rhodes (mainly for the Firefly theme). Also, the Rogue Traders because that one episode of Doctor Who was amazing.
I approve of all of it.
