Organization: i'm a bohemian

hello people! it certainly is great to have the list back! muchas gracias to whoever is responsible. it's always interesting when a jb list closes because, although we usually lose some people, we eventually make up for it with newbies. glad to see that there's many other jb "appreciators" still out there.

well, i'm gonna give in to temptation this time and post my top 10 albums. they're in order of how much they have affected my life:

1. ani difranco - not a pretty girl
2. jeff buckley - uh....lets see...the choices are limitless...Grace?
;-)
3. tori amos - little earthquakes
4. ani difranco - dilate (she has 8 albums and it was pretty hard to limit myself to just list two)
5. sarah mclachlan - fumbling towards ecstasy
6. indigo girls - indigo girls
7. red hot chili peppers - uplift mofo party plan (this record came YEARS before they sold their souls to mtv--sorry, i'm just a little bitter)
8. enya - shepherd moons
9. toad the wet sprocket - fear
10. the doors - the doors

an honorable mention goes to any album created by the, now, disassembled

oingo boingo.

bye,
heather

Subject: JBEL: yet another top 10 list

It's so hard to pick ten albums out of the hundreds of albums in my collection, but these are the ten I seem to listen to most, so I guess you could consider them my favorites

Tori-Little Earthquakes
Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Sessions
REM-Automatic for the People
Sonic Youth-Goo
Mike Watt-Ballhog or Tugboat?
Liquorice-Listening Cap
Sebadoh-Bakesale
Beck-One Foot In The Grave
Bowie-The Singles
Velvet Underground-anything they've put out

The top ten (no one can escape to The top ten...) :

All the late-sixties-early-seventies-british-blues-boom-classic-rock-shut-up'n-play-yer-guitar-rock stuff (Hendrix, Zep, Clapton, Doors...), Lou Reed, Neil Young, John Coltrane, Frank Zappa, reggae (Bob & the W., Burning Spear, LKJ..), James brown, Nick Drake as well... and also some classical music.

Well, you see, many different things. And of course Jeff Buckley. That's more than ten, but who cares...

Peace to all of you
