Since I decided to write on CDs which I didn’t like last time, this time I’ll write about CDs that you should own. Do yourself a favor and drop what you’re doing and go down to the Great Escape and buy these CDs.

• Wallflowers – Bringing Down the Horse – Wow. What a great album! 3 big hits plus some other good songs. “One Headlight” is the song everyone knows from the Wallflowers. But I’d guess that “6th Avenue Heartache” is probably their best song. “Invisible City” is a good song too.
• U2 – The Joshua Tree – What more can be said from this album. Some say that U2 is way overexposed. I’d say they achived some of their greatest sounds from this album. “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “With or Without You,” and “Where the Streets Have No Name,” are all great radio hits from the album. However many forget the other songs like “In God’s Country” which was used as the closing credit to “3 Kings.”
• Counting Crows – August and Everything After – Some would call this mopey music. I’d call it the soundtrack of my Sophomore year at Lipscomb. Rarely do I find every song on a particular album as listenable and enjoyable. At one time I’d definitely have this on my luggage list if I were to guest star on “Lost.”

You’ll note that I’m staying away from “Greatest Hits” albums because they aren’t really albums per say, just moneymakers.
