I had to use the past two years just to come up with my own Top 5: Enya: A Day Without Rain Joe Satriani: Engines of Creation Collective Soul: Blender Creed: Weathered Junior Brown: Mixed Bag (think Brian Setzer meets Johny Cash) BTW, a year or two ago when we all were listing our Top 5 (other than Numan) bands/artists, I had a hard time with that one as well. I like a lot of "modern" music but not many bands or artists in particular. Which is why I included the Outfield in that list. I'm sure back then you all thought; God what a dork. As it happens that group has still been recording and touring small venues, and had been important to my first girlfriend and I, and their music helped me deal with our breakup (as did a couple Numan songs). So excluding Gary again, I'm replacing Outfield with Creed. Not that anyone cares, but that makes four of my top five albums from the past two years coming from four of my top five artists. Need a little musical variety, Mike? I think so. Anyone up for starting lists of our Top 10 80's, and Top 10 90's albums? What the heck, for those of us over 30, how about Top 10 70's Albums too? (when an album was a record, and a tape was an 8-track...) Happy new year to all.
