Let's have some music.

Stolen from several:

List 12 albums that have stayed with you over the years in some way. Don’t take too long on this list – just a few minutes. These don’t have to be great records, or critical masterpieces, just ones that mean something to you personally.

In the order that they occur to me. . .

1. The Beatles, White Album (and Sgt. Pepper's and Magical Mystery Tour and Abbey Road and. . .)
2. Levant Plays Gershwin
3. Glenn Miller's Greatest Hits
4. Apollo 100, Joy See group description here.
5. Starring Fred Astaire -- All Astaire's songs from his RKO films of the 1930s.
6. Carole King, Tapestry
7. Harry Nilsson, Nilsson Schmilsson
8. Godspell -- I bought it to learn the music so that I could audition for a production at a local community theatre. I did not get a part, but I do still know all the words.
9. Derek and the Dominos, Layla
10. Guys and Dolls -- 1992 Broadway soundtrack album; again, I still know every word.
11. soundtrack to the film The Firm -- The tracks I like best are the original jazz pieces by Dave Grushin, particularly Memphis Stomp and Ray's Blues. When I was going through a particularly rough breakup, these songs, for some reason, were the only pieces of music I could bear to listen to.
12. Benny Goodman, The 1938 Concert at Carnegie Hall
