I can manage movies, but music is a harder task:
Duruflé: Organ Works--Todd Wilson
Duruflé: Requiem, Cum jubilo Mass, Motets--St. Jacob's Chamber Choir / Graden
Ravel: Piano Works--Louis Lortie
Alison Krauss & Union Station: Live in Louisville
Fretwork: Alio Modo
Donald Fagen: Morph the Cat
Bach: Morimur--Hilliard Ensemble (chorales only)
Bach: Complete Organ Works--Hans Fagius
Bach: Well-Tempered Clavier--Andras Schiff
Vaughan Williams: Over Hill, Over Dale--Holst Singers / Layton
Mahler: Symphony No. 3--Los Angeles / Salonen
Lassus: Missa pro defuctis--Pro Cantione Antiqua
Rachmaninov: Piano Preludes (Op. 23 & 32)--Ashkenazy
When I start to poke around I find a bunch of stuff I'd add; I must stop before I get sucked too far in!

Thanks. It came to me quite suddenly. I went through my CD collection & picked out the albums that I listen to a *lot*.

No probs. I pop into your Blog on a regular basis to check how you're doing. Hope everything is fine with you & your family.

Indeed. I posted the CD's that get played a lot in my house - whilst staying away from the compilations & best of's (to say nothing about all the Soundtrack CD's I have).
I also didn't add any of my Classical CD's. I too am a big fan of Bach & especially Rachmaninov. Maybe I'll do a Classical CD list soon.... [muses]
Far be it from me to criticize a music lover with such eclectic taste (although I guess I am) but Republica? Sure 'ready to go' was played at many sporting arena's and that is the reason I bought the CD myself, but all the other songs sound the same.
CK, just giving you a hard time in jest.
Seriously though, very nice choices and, as mentioned, eclectic list. Glad to see Rush on your list.
"... what really matters is what you like, not what you are like..." -- lol. As always, I love any reference to High Fidelity.
Nice list. I've got a few of them (Pink Floyd, U2, Moby, Rush, Nirvana, RATM). I've done a list before (Top 10 albums. I don't think my list has changed since then though I've been impressed by a few of my newer acquisitions - Vince Gill's 4 CD release, the new Foo Fighters, the Plant-Krauss collaboration.

Largely yes - but quite a few albums are pretty samey... I listened to it again yesterday & found it still very good - especially track 5 'Picture Me' which I think is the best thing on it.

Picking one Rush album was difficult and I didn't want to go with the obvious 2112.

Had to be done. I really liked the film and the book isn't bad either.
