Have to add a couple more Canuckians to my list, "Up to Here" and " Fully Completely" by The Tragically Hip as well as "Love Junk" by The Pursuit of Happiness (TPOH). Don't know the name of any Gordon Lightfoot albums offhand but I like a lot of his songs... I can't say I like the Hip, I have a bit of the opposite feeling about them truthfully... but TPOH's Love Junk and the less angsty One Sided Story are both really good albums. (Also for the readers - Moe Berg's The Green Room is a good collection of short stories, although the (romantic?) subject content can border on the odd). Leonard Cohen needs a mention in the CanCon section as well. Bren R.

Could add Holly Cole, Diana Krall, heck even Paul Anka should be mentioned too. Not many people have written/sung so many hits in every decade since the Stone Age as he has.
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Well here are 20, but trying not to include any release already mentioned here, any "Best of", and only 1 per artist. In alpha order:
1. Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East 2. Blue Hawaiians - Sway 3. Brian Setzer Orch - The Dirty Boogie 4. Casting Crowns - Casting Crowns 5. Chris Botti - To Love Again 6. Chris Tomlin - Arriving 7. David Gilmour - On an Island 8. Def Leppard - Hysteria 9. Gary Moore - After Hours 10. George Winston - Autumn 11. Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow 12. JetPack - JetPack 13. Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell 14. Neil Young - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere 15. Peter Frampton - Fingerprints 16. Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs 17. Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers 18. Star Sailor - Silence is Easy 19. Thelonious Monk - Live at Carnergie Hall with John Coltrane
Opps only 19, so Pink Floyd - Wish You Where Here
that may break only 1 per artist though, so if need be, through in The Beatles - Let It Be

This is also a great forum to see what else people listen to...
13. Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell Yes, Todd Rundgren meets Marvin Aday and Jim Steinman... a very good meeting of the minds.
8. Def Leppard - Hysteria Wait, seriously? I just... it's always easy to dismiss other peoples' tastes in anything... but... wow... that's like seeing "Totally Krossed Out" by Kris Kross on a list.
But I am biased against 80s spandex c*** rock.

Def Leppard is good, but Hysteria was too overproduced for a hard rock album. I prefer Pyromania.

You don't want to set off the aged and semi-infirm hoard of 80’s metal heads in here. We are feisty, but our attention span is real . . . what was I ranting about?
