- Blink 182: Enema of the state
Grew on me. Lead singers bratty voice really irritated me when I first heard Blink, and now I like it. Tunes are a little punk, but very catchy.
- The Eastman Wind Ensemble: Danzante
I’m a huge Copeland fan. I thought this album did a great job of capturing an ‘old west’ feel. I can be fooled into thinking many songs here are lost tracks for The Good The Bad and the Ugly. They do Ewazen right. I’m constantly on the search for good, America themed classical music.
- Penguin Cafe Orchestra: Preludes Airs and Yodels
Nice sound. They have an updated Philip Glass feel to them.
- Jay Brannon: Goddamned
Cynical Gay man. One guy and a guitar (mostly). I think he has an incredibly compelling voice.
- TMBG: Science is real
Because we listen to a lot of kids music, and it is supremely satisfying to have your children quote science facts randomly.
- Green Day: American Idiot
Just listened to this again yesterday. Love it.
- The Postal Service: Give up
My newest alternative liking. They even dare to have some tracks in which vocals are absent.
- Jane Eyre Broadway musical
Few musicals of the past decade stuck with me as much as Jane Eyre. The story is a little treacle, but I think the songs are singable and emotionally packed.
- Decemberists: Crane Wife
Hard for me to pick an album here because I usually listen to them by artist name. More songs on this album appealed to me.
- Patty Griffin: living with ghosts
Again, hard for me to choose because I listen to Patty Griffin by artist, not album. 1000 kisses was right here too, but I think there are more excellent songs on Living with Ghosts.
