15 Albums

I got involved in this internet meme about picking the 15 albums that will stick with you. I took it to mean not just my favorite albums, but ones which were important to me during certain times in my life and which I have never had any type of shame about liking. These are the ones I still recommend to others and get excited to talk about when I find other fans.

The Beach Boys - Sloop John B - from Pet Sounds

The Beastie Boys - Car Thief - from Paul's Boutique

Braid - American Typewriter - from The Age of Octeen

Johnny Cash - Orange Blossom Special - from At Fulsom Prison

Miles Davis - Jeru - from The Birth of the Cool

Dexys Midnight Runners - There There My Dear - from Searching for the Young Soul Rebels

Dianogah - Eating Cake - from Battle Champions

Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Doralice - from Gets/Gilberto

Honcho Overload - Molasses - from Pour Another Drink
