Top 5 Favorite CDs (in autobiographical order)
- Various Artists - Live 101 Volume 1
- I first got introduced to this CD when I was still in high school. I thought it was really cool to hear acoustic versions of so many radio songs.
- Eve 6 - Horrorscope
- This is a great disc. It has a lot of different types of music on it. From the somewhat angry and bitter On the Roof Again to the slower and more "prom song" Here's to the Night. All the songs are solid.
- Counting Crows - This Desert Life
- Love this disc. I was introduced to this disc with the track Mrs. Potter's Lullaby and the rest of it is just great. Very good music for just chilling out with friends. Perfect for background music or singing along in the car.
- Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
- This disc was in heavy rotation when I first picked it up[0]. I feel somewhat dirty liking a band that is so mainstream, but I just can't help myself. For cruising down the highway or carving down the moutain, not much is better.
- Dashboard Confessional - So Impossible EP
- Definately had to put some DC on this list. Unfortunately, I really like all of their/his discs, so picking one was somewhat difficult, but I decided on this one. It's only 4 tracks, but every one is outstanding. I think every one of these tracks is on my 'Best of DC' playlist.
Honorable Mentions
- Maroon 5 - Songs about Jane
- Barenaked Ladies - Greatest Hits
- Dashboard Confessional - Swiss Army Romance
- Dashboard Confessional - The Places you Have Come to Fear the Most
- U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
- Victor Wooten - A Show of Hands (<--- thanks Mojo)
- Tonic - Lemon Parade
- Sister Hazel - Fortress
- Evanescence - Fallen
- Linkin Park - Meteora
- Lostprophets - Start Something
- Yellowcard - Yellowcard
- Smile Empty Soul - Smile Empty Soul
I really like at least 90% of the tracks on each of these CDs, which is not so much a requirement of the list, but it ended up that way.
What are yours?
(edit: Add honorable mentions as inspired my Mojo)
[0] My roommates can attest to that.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about Jennifer Knapp and Kansas. Now I'm going to have to go dig that CD out and listen to it on the way home. Thanks for the reminder Holly. (:
