For the past few weeks, I’ve been collecting albums… must’ve acquired about 60+ as of now. They range from all sorts of genre (e.g. Cafe del Mar<\/em> to Nirvana<\/em> to Jars of Clay<\/em> – to Nine Inch Nails<\/em> to India Arie,<\/em> you get the picture. Old and new, whatever was available.<\/p>\n

I haven’t gotten to a third of them, but I thought I’d share the select songs to look for from the albums I did<\/em> get to listen to. I wasn’t able to get the full discographies (translated: all the albums) of most of the artists, so there may be different versions of some songs (or even the same) which I don’t know about.<\/p>\n

I’m basing this list of “cool tracks” on the albums I have… If you see the albums, then try these songs for size:<\/p>\n\n

  • This is Your Life [The Beatiful Letdown]<\/li>\n

    dc Talk<\/h2>\n

    song [album]<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Say the Words [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n
    • Between You and Me [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n
    • That Kinda Girl [Free At Last]<\/li>\n
    • Lean On Me [Free At Last]<\/li>\n
    • Word 2 The Father [Free At Last]<\/li>\n
    • Consume Me [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n
    • In the Light [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n
    • Socially Acceptable [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n
    • Hardway [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n
    • Chance [Intermission – Greatest Hits]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Since I only got these two albums, and Free at last<\/em> is newer, then I’d have to say that their older<\/em> albums seem to be better. They make excellent music but the whole “rap” thing just doesn’t seem to grow on me. It sounds like Gary Valenciano’s old inspirational albums where a lot of lame<\/strong> rapping was going on. Don’t get me wrong, I dig Gary V’s music, I’d just rather he stay away from Rap\/Hip hop (unless he’s dancing to it of course)<\/p>\n

      Creed<\/h2>\n

      song [album]<\/p>\n

        \n
      • What If [Human Clay]<\/li>\n
      • Higher [Human Clay]<\/li>\n
      • My Own Prison [My Own Prison]<\/li>\n
      • In America [My Own Prison]<\/li>\n
      • My Sacrifice [Weathered]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Creed<\/em> is no longer, now replaced by a band called Alter Bridge<\/em> – comprised of the same members less that annoying vocalist. Thank God for that!<\/strong> Haven’t been able to get a copy of the new band’s songs though.<\/p>\n
