<P>Amen on 'Avalon.'&nbsp; The first side of 'London Calling'&nbsp;by The Clash.&nbsp; Shouldn't Neil Young's 'Cripple Creek Ferry' have one more verse, or is it perfect as it is?</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;Ok.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am a geek.&nbsp;&nbsp;I got so excited with Rose's question that I had 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;to answer, then go fondle some CDS, then pose a new question.&nbsp;&nbsp;How 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;about your top few CDs/LPs?&nbsp;&nbsp;The ones where you like EVERY track?&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;&gt;Hmmmm? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Excellent advance on the original topic, Amy.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm old enough to 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;remember when there were radio stations that played AOR, Album 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Oriented Rock.&nbsp;&nbsp;My taste in music is eclectic -- it runs the gamut 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;from Anonymous 4 singing medieval chant and polyphony to Shakira's 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Laundry Service.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, the albums on which I love each and every 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;song, skipping nothing, are: 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Roxy Music's "Avalon."&nbsp;&nbsp;Hoping for the perfect first date?&nbsp;&nbsp;Buy a 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;copy of this album, drive somewhere that has a lovely night time 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;view, preferably in your classic Mustang convertible, switch off the 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;engine and pop this into the CD player.&nbsp;&nbsp;Be sure your date hasn't 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;been eating raw onions or pickled eggs or dead mice or anything else 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;breathily disgusting. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;k. d. lang's "Absolute Torch and Twang" and "Ingenue."&nbsp;&nbsp;What a voice 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;that woman has.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've seen her live three times, and she always 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;blows off the roof. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Emmylou Harris' "Angel Band."&nbsp;&nbsp;(I like to sing bluegrass gospel.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Farther Along, Rock of Ages, Precious Memories . . . I'm an 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Appalachian nightmare when I get in the mood.) 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors."&nbsp;&nbsp;Played to death for nearly thirty years 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;now, but who cares?&nbsp;&nbsp;More than sufficient reason for Stevie Nicks, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine McVie to die happy. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Aria: A Passion for Opera.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is essentially opera's greatest 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;hits, sung by its greatests voices, Maria Callas to Franco Corelli.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Or, as I like to think of it, the vintage Bugs Bunny soundtrack. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Nicky Holland.&nbsp;&nbsp;The album's title is eponymous.&nbsp;&nbsp;I doubt if anyone 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;on this list will have heard of Ms. Holland, but she sings and plays 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;piano, jazzy style but hard to classify.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sort of Diana Krall meets 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Norah Jones, only Holland's lyrics are more interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Undeservedly unknown. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Rose, Amy -- thanks for the change of topic.
