Four Discs of Music I Love, Part I

I've heard you can fit about six albums worth of mp3s on a cd-rom.  I've +never+ tested this out, but I believe that it's possible.  So if I were to share some music, which of course is not usually condoned, this is what I would burn on those four CDs, broken into four installments so as to not overwhelm...

Disc #ArtistAlbumFavorite Songs
1Ben Folds/Nick HornbyLonely Avenue9. 'From Above'
5. 'Your Dogs'
A standout solo album from Ben Folds with lyrics by Nick Hornby, author of High Fidelity and About A Boy.  Some really inspired music...
1FunSome Nights3. 'We Are Young'
Only took hearing a second song off the album to go buy it... Honorable mention to 'Carry On' because it reminds me of Cousin Eric... "May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground..."
1GrouploveNever Trust A Happy Song1. 'Itchin on a Photograph'
4. 'Colours'
Admittedly haven't listened to the entire album as much as others on this list, but each time I do it's usually to the last song...
1Of Monsters And MenMy Head Is An Animal1. 'Dirty Paws'
6. 'Little Talks'
Great harmonies, like a more rock-ish Civil Wars (also on this list)
1PhoenixWolfgang Amadeus Phoenix1. 'Lisztomania'
2. '1901'
I listen to this at work, start to finish... The only knock is that the vocals are out of my range...
1Young The GiantYoung The GiantEvery track, except
maybe the ones played
too much on the radio...
One of my favorite albums... I probably listened to this album for over a month nonstop before I even began to tire of it... Only reason it hasn't made it back into the daily rotation is because of other albums on this list...

Enjoy!
