Tags:
- 1.Sitting on the dock of the bay-Otis Redding (IMO, the best soul song ever)
- 2.Post (cd)-Bjork (Her best work)
- 3.Legend (cd)-Bob Marley (IMO, the best reggae artist ever)
- 4.Unchained Spirit (cd)-Buju Banton (IMO, the second best reggae artist. Every album gets better and better)
- 5.Moondance-Van Morrison (beautiful, romantic feel good song)
- 6.Sympathy for the Devil, I don't get no satisfaction-The Rolling Stones (These are the only songs I've heard that I like by them)
- 7.Eleanor Rigby, All you need is love, etc.-The Beatles (Too many excellent songs to name)
- 8.Humble Mumble, BOB-Outkast (Both of these are on Stankonia which is excellent all around [dirty south music])
- 9.Who is Jill Scott, Vol. 1 (cd)-Jill Scott (Cool R & B music)
- 10. Nevermind (cd)-Nirvana (Grunge with good rhythm)
- 11.OK Computer (cd), Kid A-Radiohead (cd) (I love everything they do)
- 12.Common w/Jill Scott, Bilal, Macy Gray, Lauryn Hill, etc. I'm in love with him right now, so really it's just Common. (Highlights-The Light, Ghetto Heaven, Retrospective for life, Funky for you)
- 13.Bob Dylan-Tangled up in blue (Uptempo and danceable)
- 14.Nina Simone-House of the Rising Sun (I have three versions of this song. All of them excellent. I'm looking for more.)
- 15.Louis Armstrong-What a Wonderful World (Makes me feel sentimental and appreciative of life)
- 16.Mos Def-Black on Both Sides (I think I like him even better than Common. Soulful rap music, with a message)
- 17.Fiona Apple-Across the Universe (One of the best Beatles' covers)
- 18.Billie Holliday-Solitude (I love this song. And can listen to this whether I'm happy or depressed. I even like the Mikki Howard version)
- 19.Lauryn Hill-Lost Ones Reggae Remix
- 20.Radiohead-Kid A and whatever I can find on BearShare
- 21.Madonna-What it feels like for a Girl (I'm a recent Madonna fan. She's gotten much better with age)
- 22.Fatboy Slim-Weapon of Choice (I love the video. Christopher Walken can dance)
- 23.Missy Elliot f. Nelly Furtado-Get UR Freak On Remix
- 24.Nikka Costa-Like a feather (Love the video. A female Lenny Kravitz. Cool)

How in the world do people create lists without going on forever? I have so many more to list but I have to get back to work. I'll add as time permits.
I don't have much time to post lists (Work, child, husband, pursuing my own dreams, etc.) But I do enjoy reading them. Hopefully it won't take me 3 monthes to update this again.
Not a sista, but this bro loves the songs here he's heard before. I haven't heard 4 or 9 yet, but I really like this list. I was shocked by how much I enjoy Outkast's latest, though I do favor Homogenic or Debut as Bjork's best work.
Shalom, y'all!

I was shocked by how much I loved Outkast's album too. The first two I listened to once or twice and that was it. I love everything by Bjork. I just felt Post was most unified. Jill Scott is a singer/spoken word artist. This album is singing. I don't know if you've listened to The Roots, but their song "You got Me" was co-written by her.
