Adele "25"
Steve Winwood "Back In the High Life"
Police "Synchronicity"
Ali Farka Toure & Ry Cooder "Talking Timbuktu"
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"
Dave Brubeck Quartet "Take Five"
U2 "Joshua Tree"
Branford Marsalis "Royal Garden Blues"
James Taylor "Hourglass"
Coldplay "Parachutes"
The Doobie Brothers "Takin It To the Streets"
It really is difficult to narrow it down, but as I said, right now, these are my Top Ten, Plus 1 and a favorite song from each.
And then this popped up! From "Minute by Minute" also The Doobie Brothers
************
But wait, I have to include my favorite Christmas song because we haven't even had Halloween yet!
Hurrah! I wondered when Adele would turn up on someobody's list...
ReplyDeleteYou're obviously a bit of a "jazz girl", which brings that "Beatnik" scene (featuring Pia Zadora and Ric Ocasek) from Hairspray to mind:

"19" was the first one I bought! I love her voice. Thanks for the clip! LOL What cracked me up is I remember girls ironing their hair when I was in high school. I've learned a lot since then and embrace my wild and crazy curls! xoxo
DeleteBy the by, Jon, thanks for coming up with this little meme! xoxo
DeleteIt's fun, isn't it? - makes you delve back into your record collection... Jx
DeleteAwesome! I have the same CDs with Steve Winwood, U2, The Police, and James Taylor. I only have the U2 one now. The others were "borrowed" (aka taken and never returned) by friends. I need to go collect them!
ReplyDeleteGreat selection! I'm curious about the other ones I don't have. Thanks for sharing these!
Glad you liked the list! somehow during one of our moves I managed to lose a BOX of CD's!! I only realized that fact when I went to play a song and couldn't find the CD! xoxo
DeleteDave Brubeck, Miles Davis and any of the Marsalis family ring my bells. The others? Um...maybe I'm too old.
ReplyDeletei'm more Porter and Coward and Sinatra. But I may find time to give these a whirl...one day.
Cole Porter, Noel Coward, and Frank Sinatra are on my Pandora radio stations list! What can beat "Anything Goes" for topicality?
DeletePandora radio is a free service that allows you to "test out" music similar to things you already like. It's surprising how different musicians come together crossing time and age, so to speak! xoxo
There is something about U2 that I have grown to like... I've always been hit and miss with them, but they are creeping into my bag of firm favourites.

I have no idea what they've done recently, but I do like the old stuff! xoxo
DeleteSame here!! I'm liking their old stuff more and more.... it takes me a long time to like something!!!
DeleteSx
I actually know some of these. My favorite of the lot is "Take Five."
ReplyDeleteWe should do a Top Ten jazz albums! xoxo
DeleteSome of these are familiar, and others not at all. Thanks the the Christmas song at the end. I really like that one! I like blues much more than jazz. And yes, I love Adele too!
ReplyDeleteCool! Picking a Top 10 is difficult because as I said, favorites are apt to change as the day progresses! What are your favorite blues albums? xoxo
DeleteOh, Doobie Brothers, haven't heared them for a long time. B.Marsalis, Brubeck's Rondo, and the Spanish Davis - I recognise some !
ReplyDeleteIt was yesterday's Top 10 mix! Today I've thought of another 10 I'd share as favorites1 Glad you liked the selections, sugar! xoxo
DeleteSee? I told you your top ten would be more interesting (and known) to more people ;) And I've even heard of some of them! (although I don't have any of the artists' CDs)
ReplyDeleteNot so sure about "interesting" probably just as you said, more widely known artists. Also, I have a few "listening" decades on you, sweetpea! ;) xoxo
DeleteWonderful post today I know and love many of your top 10 picks.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun !
cheers, parsnip and badger
