Musical themed rainy day....

I woke to sunshine today...
by the time I got the VOD ready to go out
it was rainin...
so I decided to read a book
and listen to some tunes

Music plays such a huge roll in our lives...
whether we recognize it or not....
what would you say your all time favorite top 5 music albums were? -
not just for a tune er two...
but the full album...

mine would be the following....

but I think that the order they occur in may change from time to time...
I have had all of these albums for long enough
that I've had em in LP (when available) cassette, CD and now mp3
and I just don't get tired of them!

I am surprised how many on your list I have in my collection too. I love any of SRV's stuff, and never can get enough Enya.
If you get a chance to check out "Under a Velvet Moon" by Blackmore's Knight.

CCR would definitely hit my top ten list, and of course Harry Chapin and Janis Joplin RIP.
