A few years ago, my mother joined the BMG Music Service. Through various accidental orders and just a few purchases made on purpose, our account has built up a large number of free selections; that is, CDs that we have to pay the $3 shipping for

I'm seconding most of these choices... although I'd for for Morrison Hotel if I were to pick just one Doors album

...also I'd scratch off a few :-P but yahknow, so it goes

I'm downright ashamed of you, Bycroft. No exhaustive list of 400+ "must-have" albums? You're slipping.

[sirenasolo]

It's true, I did expect the longest reply to be from Ben.

He's been grooming you, Gina :P

Anything Led Zeppelin. Literally anything, because they're that good.

Also, I second Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, and Rage Against the Machine is totally brilliant.

[sirenasolo]

Hehe, that reminds me of the insane concert situation in that other country that speaks English.

I already have Dark Side of the Moon, but I must admit I don't own any Rage Against the Machine albums in entirety.

Guster -- Lost and Gone Forever (great study music)
Maroon 5 -- It Won't be Soon Before Long (typical rock)
Smash Mouth -- Get the Picture (keeping it old school)

Sorry -- I listen more to individual songs than full tracks anymore. G'luck!

[sirenasolo]

I know, me too :P I miss you! Are you ever coming down again?

[dragons_gayte]

Prob for the 2-week Winter Break. After that, who knows.

[sirenasolo]

When are you graduating?

[nin_shark]

Oh my god, Leah, I could kill you. I'm very jealous, and feel you don't deserve it

[sirenasolo]

You love me :P Besides, you know I'll give you anything you want :D Part of the problem with this website, though, is that they only have what they have when they have it, so a lot of good non-top-40 bands probably won't be available. So highlight the ones I should get for you as much as for me ;)

[nin_shark]

Yes. Yes I do.

Hot >;)~

Most of the albums I listed I already have. Ones I'm wanting to get can be found at http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/21YLX0DQGI7NA/

I think it's really up to you as to what you should get ;P

[nin_shark]

But I KNOW you'd love Lhasa de Sela. I only have that one album, but all her music is fantastic.
