CDs I play.

It's come to my realization that despite owning a lot of CDs and LPs, I invariably go to a select 30 or so most often. These CDs speak to me in some way depending on mood, time of day,etc. This is a very maleable list that grows and shrinks, changes and changes back, and could never be called a permanent "best of" or "all time favourites". It also is by no means a complete selection of the music I like and listen to...merely a list that I go to most often.

So here it is in no particular order:

Dixie Chicks – Home
Johnny Nash – The Reggae Collection
Sarah Vaughn – Live at Mr Kelly’s
Miles Davis – Kind of Blue
Simon and Garfunkle – Wednesday Morning 3am
Gene Pitney – Greatest Hits
The Grass Roots- Greatest Hits
Greenday- Dookie
George Thorogood – Move it On Over
The Beach Boys – Endless Summer
The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds
Donovan – Greatest Hits
Them- featuring Van Morrison
Tito Schipa- The Complete Recordings Vol. 1 and 2
Chet Baker – The best of Chet Baker Sings
Deep Purple- Machine Head
The Cowboy Junkies – Trinity Sessions
Sarah Vaughn – The George Gershwin Songbook Vol. 2
Thelonius Monk – with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall
Lenny Breau – Cabin Fever
Tony Bennett – Perfectly Frank
Diana Krall – Steppin Out
The Chieftains – Another Country
Bruce Cockburn – Circles in the Stream
Loretta Lynn – Van Lear Rose
The White Stripes – Get Behind Me Satan
k.d. lang – Hymns of the 49th Parallel
Roy Forbes – Almost Overnight
Neil Young- Live at Massey Hall 1971
Bill Evans – Jazz Masters 5
KT Tunstall – Eye to the Telescope
The Beatles – Rubber Soul
Ella Fitzgerald - Ella and Basie On the Sunnyside of the Street.
Ella Fitzgerald - The Best of the Songbooks.

Yep; pretty diverse. I'm sure that I missed some that should make the list.
