Your Essential Music Collection
 

Just wondered what you would consider as your top 5 essential CDs.

My music collection has been described as cr*p. It contains such things as Billy Joel, Sissell, Thomas Helvig, Titanic... all utter cr*p - so I am having a clean out and will endeavor to improve it.

5 ain't easy, so gonna cheat - probably end up taking "best of" albums of following;

Stevie Ray Vaughan or Rory Gallagher - for Guitar stuff
Bruce Hornsby or Marc Cohn - for Piano stuff
Stevie Nicks or Bonnie Raitt - favourite gurly artists
BB King or Louis Armstrong - just because they are/were masters
Gun or Aerosmith - for full volume fun

Could also have gone for any of the following -
Mylo/Chris Rea/John Mayer/Keb Mo/Newton Faulkner/Gerry Rafferty/Aerosmith/Tom Petty/ZZ Top/Deacon Blue/Love and Money/Colin Hay..................... sorry not very good at this.

Oh and if any blues lovers out there I'm just listening to Miller Anderson - Celtic Moon - well worth checking out.
