The other day I posted in another thread a question involving 5 essential cds that you couldnt live without, that you would reccomend to someone who wants to broaden their horizions. Guru already gave his input and looking into his selections. I asked a fellow music buff in the office and he said it would take time to determine which. Upon my own reflection I too am having difficulty naming them that from start to finish deliver a great musical experience. Name them and why they are great in your opinion.

Just five??
I'm not sure that's possible.
For me, a great, well rounded collection will touch on every jenre that I have an interst in.

I can't narrow that to five.

I just thought the thread would get too long complete with description. The diversity of this site could expand my horizons for music, lately I havent been impressed with any complete cds. The ones that are quite good I play the bageezes out of where I get tired of it back to square 1. Also it a little more challenging to pick through the cream of the crop that you couldnt live without, such as for what ever reason they dont make it anymore and it is a prized possession or if stuck on an island yada yada yada.
I guess I'm looking for life changing music rather than hype, something that gives you goose bumps when you hear a certain note or vocal, or produce an emotional response when listening to it. I know thats asking a lot but most of my favorite songs are from others that turned me onto one I never heard or wouldnt have tried in the first place.

Okay, that I can relate to:
Annie Lennox
Janis Joplin
Otis Redding
An indie band out of Denver "Opie Gone Bad"
and The Cure.
If Im allowed six, can I please, please have a little bit of John Coltrane? Maybe some Mama Cass?

I left out classical. There's an opera I've been looking for almost four years now. It was done mostly by a choir out of Europe.
Tingles.. head to toe! I can't for the life of me figure out who performed it, just remember it was here in the states in 97. I'd like to have that also.

but I was hoping for you to point out certain albums/cds. I know some of them but dont own any of them except Desinagration from the Cure. I dont know which to get among all the musician's collection. I've always heard of Johnny Coltrane but I can honestly say I've never heard a song by him, wierd. I love The Mamas and The Poppas California Dreaming, now that was a great song even though I'm more into rock. AS for Janis I only know her famous stuff, it was cool to learn about her when I went to the EMI in Seattle that is a cool place to learn about music only problem is not enough artists participate. I loved Annie in Eurythmics and in her debut solo cd her second radio song was great but dont know it, I remember being wowed at her range.

I'm really bad with names. And worse yet, I'm at work.

I'll check out the albums at home tonight and see what I can come up with. I know that both Janis and Mama Cass are comp cd's and I can get you titles later today or tomorrow.

John Coltrane is a nice mix of blues and jazz. The Cure.. see if you can find the A and B sides. Not sure if that ever made cd, but it shouldn't be too hard to track down in either form.

Chat soon!
