Yes Z, it is Barbra. I always spell it wrong though because when I was 5, I heard her song "I'm Five" (and yes, I substituted "Big Boy" for "Big Girl", but because of that song, I named our family dog Barbara (later shortened to Barbie)but her name on the certificate was spelled Barbara. So although I know it's Barbra, I never stopped spelling it Barbara. (too much info??)

Dave, was it just me or did we all hear "The Way We Were" playing in the background of your last post??

Zabaitsu, finally someone else whose collection rivals mine! Maybe if I show my wife your post she'll let me bring my LP's out of the basement!

I figure that once I gather up my Lenny Kravitz and Live discographies, I won't have room for anything else.

Dawnie- Are you referring to the song "Scar Tissue" by the Chilli Peppers? That's on the Californication CD, which is good (but doesn't feature enough of Flea's slap bass skill for my taste). I wasn't aware they had a Scar Tissue CD.

Jac- I forgot about Lenny Kravitz. I really like his Greatest Hits CD. There's a musician with some talent!

Oh, I forgot!! Marvin Gaye--"What's Going On"

I'm glad that we're not just making a list of Greatest Hits. Making an album used to be an art. Nowadays, there are typically 2-3 good songs and then filler--and that is on the good albums.

I am terrible with CD titles and don't have time to Google so don't hound me :

-Phil Collins or Genesis - any CD's would do, but one must contain "In the Air Tonight"
-Lynard Skynard - Sweet Home Alabama
-Eric Clapton
-Boston

and for a country sound....
George Strait - Baby Blue
Vince Gill - His Christmas CD

But of course, if I am stranded by the ocean I would have to have - Jimmy Buffet (and a Marguerita or Pina Colda) !

Actually they did a single title CD for Scar Tissue. I guess I'll be listening to that one song over and over and over again on the island

I haven't found any full CD's of theirs I fell in love with. Having the single is kind of nice when I'm in the mood to listen to sad music. That one song will do it for me for about a week.

Here goes - using only albums I actually own - which is limiting since I tend to go for Greatest hits or compilation type albums.
  • The Great Divide & Friends - "Dirt & Spirit"
  • Randy Travis - "Rise & Shine"
  • George Strait - "Live from the Houston Astrodome"
  • The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "Will the Circle be Unbroken - Vol. III"
  • Brad Paisley - "Part II"
  • Mark Chestnutt - "Longnecks and Short Stories"
  • Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson - "VH1 Storytellers"
  • Hank Williams Sr., Jr., & III - "Men with Broken Hearts"
  • Chris Ledoux - "Live"
  • Bill Engvall - "Dorkfish" (because you'd have to laugh occasionally.

However if items 1,4,7, & 8 count as multi-artist compilations since they all have more than one artist (I would consider them more collaborations since more than one artist appears per song.) I would replace with:

  • The Great Divide - "Revolutions"
  • The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "Live Two Five"
  • Michael Martin Murphy - "Cowboy Songs III - Rhymes of the Renegades"
  • Mike McClure - "Twelve Pieces"


For my soundtrack - "O, Brother Where Art Thou"
Greatest Hits - Chris LeDoux's "20 Greatest Hits"

Frank Sinatra - "September of My Years"
Frank Sinatra - "Songs for Swinging Lovers"
Frank Sinatra - "Only the Lonely"
James Taylor - "Live in Concert"

ARGGG!!! As a music fan, that is just not enough--and I'll change my mind in 10 minutes. Wait, I need Frampton Comes Alive and Chicago's Greatest Hits and Merle Haggard's Box Set....





Marshall Crenshaw, what a classic!! I can't believe anyone else remembers this guy. I think he only had two albums and I have them both on casettes, although I think they are nearly worn out. This sure brings back memories from the 80's.

Cynical Girl

That would be on my list too, along with another classic from the 80's "Asia".

LOL Stephen...it gets worse. That CD is in my player as we speak! I didn't include it because it was against the original rules

I have everything by Eva. The other two CD's are at the house. Her Desert Rose and Somewhere Over The Rainbow were the first two songs I heard on NPR. I was hooked!

Oh no, I have 4 or 5 Marshall Crenshaw albums--including a live album. I plan to get his second and third albums because I just read an article saying that those albums were nearly as good as the first album.

MORE ALBUMS:

Roxy Music "Avalon"
Bruce Cockburn "Humans"
Peter Case "Man with the Blue Post Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Guitar"

I defy anyone to listen to Eva's rendition of "Over the Rainbow" without getting chills up your spine. And her version of "Oh, Had I A Golden Thread" always gets me up waiving my hand and swaying (not a pretty sight: white boy acting like he's in a black gospel choir ) Every year I have to go out to Seattle to get another one of her CDs, 'cause you can't find them out here.

Nothing against Norah Jones, but if Eva were still alive, she should have the five Grammys.

Anything Beach Boys, perhaps some Marley and a bit of classical. Other than that, I think I would take audio books.
