In no particular order.

1: AKUS - Now that Ive found you. Anything Allison Krauss is fine with me.

2: John Lennon - Imagine. I cant explain "Oh Yoko" but it puts me in a great mood, its so jammin.. prat I think. Much more to explore with these guys as a group and solo for me.

3: Aimee Mann - Bachelor No.2. I love Aimee. Unique sense of rythem that always grabs me.

4: CCR - Pendulum. Actually there is always something from Creedence in rotation here except Mardi Gras. Special thanks to Analogue Productions, Steve Hoffman and Kevin Gray for giving us Creedence as good as it will ever be.

5: James Taylor - Greatist Hits. Warner Bros 1976 but you wouldnt know it from the sonics. I even doubt the dates on the label. A fine CD of this type if ever one existed.

Miles Davis - In A Silent Way
Lou Reed - Magic & Loss
Beck - Sea Change
XTC - Nonsuch
Patrick O'Hearn - Indigo

1 - Dave Alvin - Out in California (saw him last week in Houston - great show)
2 - Allman Bros - Fillmore East
3 - Rodney Crowell - The Houston Kid (ok i'm biased)
4 - Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
5 - Any of the live annual compilation volumes put out by KGSR in Austin. Hard to pick just one. If you can get this station on the web via streaming audio check it out.

Funny how my "permanent" rotation changes between car, work, and home.
