5 must have CDs

what if i have a mp3 cd/dvd player (with 200-1200 songs per disc)?

lots of scandanavian death metal for sure, but i got lots of rock, industrial, motown etc too, so i'd just take everything... cause the batteries don't really care how many CDs i've got.

Sunra and I should jam out one day :)

1. Stevie wonder- Anything and everything
2. Earth, Wind, and Fire - Essiential album
3 Frank Sinatra - Greatest Hits
4.Joni Mitchell- Blue
5. Marvin Gaye- Greatest motown hits

I never really looked into Donny Hathaway stuff; I only know him from Roberta Flack Duets.

You know Bushead my girlfriend bought a copy of Donny Hathaway Live. Like you, I was only aware of his duets with Roberta Flack. But when I listened to this man pour his heart and soul out on this album in front of a intimate audience I was convinced that many of the singers like George Benson, Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder were inspired by his delivery and musicianship. With that said, go get that CD "Donny Hathaway Live."

Note: Donny Hathaway was a graduate of Howard University, where he met Roberta Flack. Donny was a student of Classical music as well as Country music because of the stories it told. He wrote so many scores for movie soundtracks in the seventies and was on the verge of becoming an ultimate composer of his own symphony. He truly was blessed with the ability to bring true R & B to the mainstream yet his life like so many brilliant artist came to end when he committed suicide in a NY Hotel. Dealing with lifes up and downs took it's toll on him mentally. He was committed to a mental hospital several times. I'm glad that his widow and daughter Lalah Hathaway allowed his CD to be released.

Michael Jackson-Off the Wall
Robi Rosa-Libertad del Alma
Alejandro Sanz-Unplugged
Stevie Wonder-Songs in the Key of Life
Destiny's Child-really doesn't matter what cd, I just want something pretty to look at

There would be so many other CDs I'd want though. Tough, but good, question

Led Zeppelin-IV
The Essential Neil Diamond
Dave Matthews Band-Under the Table and Dreaming
Ted Leo + Pharmacists-Hearts of Oak
Travis-Singles

Here's my top 5 in no order

Notorious BIG: Ready to Die
Dr. Dre: The Chronic
Motley Crue: Theater of Pain (spelled wrong)
Wu Tang Clan: Enter The 36 Chambers
The Police: Every Breath You Take...The Singles

Well, I'd have to go with:

1. Patsy Cline's greatest hits (Id marry that woman without looking at her...)

2. 40oz. to freedom

3. Mazzy Star- Fade into you

4. DJ. Screw - 3 in da mornin part 2.

5. Jimmy Buffett's greatest hits-- it is a freakin island isnt it?

Here goes mine...

1.Notorious BIG - Ready to die

2.Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt

3.Hector Lavoe - Greatest Hits, Vol 1 and 2 (that counts as one cd, right?)

4.Dave Matthews Band - Live at Luther College w/Tim Reynolds Disc 1

5.Al Green - Greatest Hits

Live at Luther College - nice choice

OutKast - ATLiens
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
Michael Jackson - Bad/Thriller (got em both on vinyl and couldn't decide)
Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Blackstar
