Anyone can think of typical favorites- Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, etc.

However, here are a few of my absolute personal favorites you may not have heard:

1) Tears for Fears "Seeds of Love" CD... Track 1 "Woman In Chains" is just awesome! Listen for Phil Collins drums as well as Oleta Adams (guest vocalist) soaring in middle of track! Also- Track 2 has great variety of sounds...as well as male & female vocals. BTW- if your system can pick out what they are saying in the background conversations on the last track...you got a winner!!!

2) Sting "Soul Cages" Check out "Islands of Souls" and "The Wild, Wild Sea" Very different soulful CD from Sting. Recording is terrific!

3) Eurythmics "We Too Are One" CD Trust me...listen for the bell tones and rain sounds on "When the Day Goes Down" and Annie's voice on "Angel"...Heaven!

4) Roxy Music "Avalon" Listen to "Avalon/ India" back to back and just keep on grinnin'....

5) Blue Road-eo "Five Days in July" Go find this CD and kick back and get blown away by Track 6-"What is This Love" and Track 9-"Know Where You Go/ Tell me your Dream". Dont worry...not a "country" group as the name sounds! Sort of a mix of Neil Young and Cowboy Junkies- A+++

Then, let me know what you think!!!
