top ten

ok, so melissa manley (http://melissamanleystudios.blogspot.com/) posted something somewhere a few weeks ago about her top 10 favorite albums. And although she said not to think about it and just write what comes to my head, I have been dwelling over it! So weeks later, here they are (not in any particular order). As with everything in my life, it is subject to change.

1. Outkast- ATLiens
2. Tracy Chapman- New Beginning
3. Pixies- Doolittle
4. Postal Service- Give Up
5. Lucinda Williams- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
6. Better Than Ezra- Deluxe
7. The Avett Brothers- Emotionalism
8. Badly Drawn Boy- About a Boy soundtrack
9. Tom Petty- Wildflowers
10. Cowboy Junkies- Miles From Our Home
