7 Albums
These are my top 7 (that I can think of today anyway) albums.  Not favourites to me because of single tracks, but because the entire work speaks to me. 

1.  Amelie Original Soundtrack

Now, Amelie is my favourite film, but I think a lot of its magic is owed to this flawless soundtrack by Yann Tiersen.  I never get tired of the stunning notes on violin and the ambiance of the accordian. 

2.  Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

If I had to choose one album that I might have worn out the CD in high school, this would be it.  Some songs specifically got me through some tough times.  I've always wished she could follow this up with something new, but I'm happy with this just the same.

3.  Beatles - Revolver

In 8th grade we did a music class project and studied The Beatles.  I was hooked.  At first it was their early stuff - I Wanna Hold Your Hand - but I continued my own project and fell in love with their later, deeper work.  Eleanor Rigby changed my feelings about music.   There was a whole lot more out there than Sheryl Crow and Collective Soul had to offer.

4.  Tegan & Sarah - The Con

This album got me through the biggest breakup in my life.  I will always thank them for that.

5. Radiohead - Ok Computer

What is not to love - seriously?  Let's play this on loop all day.

6. TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain

Steve made me a mixed cd when we first started dating.  These guys were on it, and aside from being amazingly talented, I'm a bit sentimental :)


7. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

Without fail, this can get me off my butt and dancing around the apartment.  It is so energetic and infectious that I can't resist.  This will be played on cleaning days absolutely.


That's the list!
