If you could only listen to five cds (not burned mix cds) for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Here are mine:
1) Amos Lee: Amos Lee
2) Gavin DeGraw: Chariot
3) *N Sync: *N Sync (or No Strings Attached! Can't decide!)
4) Garden State Soundtrack (Sorry Mark!)
5) John Mayer: Either Continuum or Room for Squares. Can't decide on that either!
Now, you might be like, "Whaaat? Becca, some of these aren't artists you are obsessed with!" This is true, but they ARE cds I could listen to over and over and over again. *N sync and Garden State are pretty self explanatory. We all know how much I feel about them!
But while most of Chariot did not get radio play, it is an AWESOME cd. (I must give a shout out to Sarah for introducing me to it!) Favorites: "More Than Anyone," "Belief," "Chariot" and "Nice to Meet You Anyway."
Same with Amos Lee. Just put that cd on and let it play! Favorites: "Colors," "Arms of Woman" and "Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight."
As for John Mayer, oh man, I just love that guy. I know some of his lyrics can be a little cutesy and whatnot, but boyfriend can compose a good tune! That's why it's so hard to choose between Continuum and Room for Squares...some of my favorite songs are on each! Favorites: "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room," "The Heart of Life," "Dreaming with a Broken Heart" (on Continuum) "Neon" and "My Stupid Mouth" (on Room for Squares).
But really. What would YOU choose?

Hmmm... I can totally see how your mom teaches deaf students.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Braff & Mayer, besides sounding like a brand of kosher mustard, could put a sweet little supergroup together. Super CRAPPY!
Sarah asked me this question about 90 seconds after we first met. My list was very impressive and sexy - perhaps she will recount it here.
Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!! Ex-CUSE me! I don't know if you know this, but John Mayer is, like, only one of the most talented guitarists in HISTORY. Rolling Stone put him up there with Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. Like I said, I know his lyrics are a little much sometimes, but the quality of music is totally there.
ReplyDeleteAnd I KNOW how you feel about Zach Braff, but that has nothing to do with the talent of the artists on the soundtrack.
So THERE.
P.S. I would like to see your CrazySexyCool list, thanks! I bet I would like it.
Mark's list (though I don't remember the specific albums):
ReplyDelete1. Luna
2. Kanye West
3. John Coltrane
4. Radiohead
5. Beastie Boys
I'm not getting involved in this dispute, except to say that John Mayer, as a person, drives me batsh*t crazy. And I love Amos and Gavin.
