That's the one with "Games Without Frontiers," right?

Correct. All of his albums have been brilliant... it is a difficult choice. The German version of his second, "Scratch", is chilling even though I don't speak a lick of the language. It is not just a dub-over, and worth having if you are a fan!

Nothing's Shocking - Jane's Addiction (1988)

Great cd. Woulda made my list, but I had to stop somewhere!

[teenyelliott]

I'm saying that because they are ugly lying whores. And they suck.

[ericthecurdog]

Enigma's 1990 Album. Friggin genius.

[najida]

Oh boy,
Now ya gone and stepped in it

(BTW, DC's are why I first sought out FR).

I don't know about favorite CD of all time (that's a hard one to decide), but my favorite CD of the moment is a CD I got this past Friday. The artist's name is Mindy Smith. Her music genre is hard to label (usually it's called "Americana" or "alt-country"), but it's really good. She has a wonderful voice, and she's not hard on the eyes either.

Quadrophenia-The Who
Blood on the Tracks-Bob Dylan
Making Movies-Dire Straits
Lotus-Santana
Being There-Wilco
Sticky Fingers-Rolling Stones
Gold-Ryan Adams
Squeezing Out Sparks-Graham Parker
American Beauty-Grateful Dead
Band on the Run-Paul McCartney
Eponymous-REM

My Aim is True-Elvis Costello

I limited myself to one selection per artist, so Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" and The Who's "Live at Leeds" and "The Who Sell Out" didn't make it this time. I also tried to avoid greatest hits compilations, but Creedence was such a great singles band that "Chronicle" had to go on. And "Eponymous" rounds up some early REM songs before "Losing My Religion" made them MTV darlings.

Witherspoon can sing better than June Carter.

That is a left handed compliment if I ever heard one.

[EX52D]

Foreigner 4 brings back a lot of "vivid" memories...

[Felicity Fahrquar]

Second that. Excellent flick. And Witherspoon sounded especially good, she did June proud.

[motormouth]

Hey Max. In my CD Player:

Van Morrison
Kelly Clarkson
Shinedown
James Taylor
Garrison Field

[Michael.SF.]

There are too many to list, and many that I like have already been mentioned. But here are two, not previously named that, IMNSHO, have to be in the top ten all time best albums:

Ry Cooder - Bop till you Drop ('Little Sister' version is better then Elvis)

Roy Orbison - Mystery Girl (Title track produced by Bono, and it shows!)

[Dashing Dasher]

My favorite album. Doesn't come in a CD or Cassette - or even 8-track... yet.

[najida]

LOL!

[Maximus of Texas]

Have to disagree with you on this one, Teeny. Landslide is a great album.
