I drive to work every day and every week need to 'refresh' my car CD. Some things stay there for a week and then disappear never to be seen again, some make a fleeting return, but those that return after more than a year out have definitely stood the test of time. So new thread for this week is whats in the CD any why?:
1. Lacuna Coil - New band (Italian heavy gothic rock) discovered just bought their first cd - second (??).
2. Nightwish - "Wishmaster" (Sorry more gothic rock, this time Norwegian - I think)
3. U2 - "All that you can't leave behind". Making a reappearenace this week after more than a year out - truely excellent.
4. Metallica - "Load" When you just need to let off some steam PLAY LOUD.
5. Alanis Morisette - "Jagged Little Pill". Excellent feminine angst.
6. Def Lappard "X" - sing-a-long-a-rock

Running with Blondie at the moment.
God that shows my age...
I find I have "going to work music" (CD's 1, 2 and 4 - i.e. loud to get me going) and softer stuff (3,5, & 6) to chill me on the way home.

Had a clear out of the car yesterday, so this week's list is:
"A Place in the Sun" - Tim McGraw
"It Matters to Me" - Faith Hill
"The Best of" (or whatever it's called) - Sinead O'Connor
"The Complete Radio 1 Sessions" - Napalm Death
And I'll be off to pick up the new Napalm Death album from those lovely people at HMV at some point in the next couple of days, so that'll get added to the list too...
But for a longer journey I like things to sing a long too (which can be a bit scary) include
Dire Straights – Brothers in arm
Prince – Purple Rain
Meatloaf – bat out of hell
David Bowie – a compilation (don’t know title)
It just it takes be quite some time to learn the lyrics - If I’m just listening I like the Chilli Peppers, Pink and so on
But when it comes to the old karaoke I go back to things like:
Tell Laura
House of the rising sun
Blueberry hill
Rind stone cowboy
So yeh – you probably right, I’m a bit of a dinosaur
2 Linkin Park albums
A slight case of overbombing by the sisters of mercy

MartinH - what's wrong with knowing all the words to "Bat Out Of Hell"???
If you like oldies with a difference, I can heartily recommend Me First and The Gimme Gimmes, as I nearly always have at least one of their CDs in the car. They do "proper" oldies in a punk stylee. Like "Seasons in the Sun", "Nobody Does It Better", "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard", "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "Who Put The Bomp", "My Favourite Things". Actually, one of their albums ("...Are A Drag") is a whole album of showtunes - fantastic!
Rod Stewart
James Taylor
Alanis Morisette
Avril Lavigne
Artful Dodger
Donnell Jones
Stacey Kent (real cool jazz)
Club Tropicana
Old Skool
Stereophonics
Prodigy
David Gray
Ministry Of Sound (millennium edition)
Gaz - "Set This Circus Down" - I was undecided as to whether to ask for this or "Everywhere" for Christmas: do you have "Everywhere" and which do you think is the better album?
Did you see the CMA Awards on Saturday night? Don't you just want to smack Toby Keith?
How about Alan Jackson........I have two of his albums, great........
Stereophonics
Clannad
Beethoven
Mid section pain:
Supergrass
Blackfoot
End extreme pain and hating every inch:
AC/DC
Propaghandi (hard core Canadian punk)
The wonders of modern technology!
Ah, "Drive" is already on the Crimbo list, as is "New Favorite" by Alison Krauss and Union Station, and "Golden Road" by Keith Urban. And I'm opting for "Greatest Hits" by Martina McBride as an easy way in.
Every year I watch the CMAs, and every year I compile a list and never get round to it, buying Hheavy metal CDs instead. This year, I'm finally going to get buying - I have all the Faith Hills now, and have made a start on Tim McGraw....
I don't suppose you understand what the Horizons Award is all about? I thought it was like a "Best Newcomer" kind of thing, but then one of this year's artists had been nominated before?
not too sure about the Horizon award.
Its nice to find another country fan.
I was in Arizona last year and they had a western karioke in a bar at the side of the motel, it was absolutley fantastic all the locals were there, they were just as good as the professional singers....
