Albums
Music has totally been on my mind lately. In fact, Keep On Keeping On keeps replaying in my mind.
Don't ask.
When I was listening to some tunes this week during work, I thought about some albums (yeah, definitely dating myself with this word) that have stood the test of time for me. So I made a list of my top ten favorite albums ... I mean ... CDs that I can still listen to all the way through and enjoy all the songs even today. I limited myself to stuff I listened to in high school and college so here goes in no particular order (drum roll please):
Any album ... I mean ... CDs are your all-time favs?

- In Utero and Nevermind—Nirvana
- Jagged Little Pill—Alanis Morissette
- Pretty Hate Machine—Nine Inch Nails
- Substance and Technique—New Order
- Standing on the Beach (The Singles)—The Cure
- Violent Femmes—Violent Femmes
- License to Ill (sort of cheesy but fun) and Paul's Boutique—Beastie Boys (though I pretty much love all their music)
- The Best of the Doors—The Doors (okay, so it's a compliation, but it got me hooked on their music)
- Sergeant Peppers—The Beatles
- Core—Stone Temple Pilots

It's been awhile since I've fallen in love with an entire album. Matter of fact, it's been since the 80s. While I still like current music, these are the ALBUMS that I simply must take with me if I'm ever stranded on a desert island:
1. janet by Janet Jackson
2. Off the Wall by Michael Jackson
3. Thriller by Michael Jackson
4. Madonna by Madonna
5. Like a Virgin by Madonna
6. Purple Rain by Prince
7. Best of Bond...James Bond theme songs (from Dr. No to Tomorrow Never Dies)
8. Spandau Ballet...The Singles Collection. Guilty Pleasure
9. The Best of Duran Duran
10. The Best of the Culture Club
Oh, my. I totally forgot to add a few of those. How many times had I listened to Thriller? Janet ruled my 7th grade year. (Was that the one with Nasty Boys? Gosh, I thought that was the coolest.) I can remember trying to learn her dance routines. Madonna is the best! Purple Rain ... yeah, definitely on my list, too. One of the best albums ever, so sexy. And, of course, I gotta hand it to you with Bond. Duran Duran is in my CD collection in the car. Damn ... I didn't realize how many other albums that I had forgotten about. I'll have to make a mix CD for our Harper's Ferry trip! :P
