#1 CD's that are definitely worth buying...

Post by al newall »

I hate it when i spend my hard earned on an album -either CD or record-, and it turns out to be a poor recording. Or the only song that's any good is the one that prompted you to buy it.

Thought i'd start a thread, for people to list good recordings which also have good content.
Not looking for lengthy reviews.
Just the artist, album and genre will do.
Much to learn there is.

Nickel Creek - Nickel Creek. Their first album, and their best IMHO. Still the best sounding cd I've come across. Bluegrass stylee.

Would definately recommend the following;

Nitin Sawhney - Beyond Skin (earth shattering bass and great music)
Mary Black - Anything she's ever done
The Script - The Script (great debut album by this Irish band)
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms (if you haven't got it, shame on you ;))
Elton John - The One (Not to everyones taste but I love this album!)

Can't think of any other at present but will update when I do :)
