I like music....so glad to see this. One of my favorite things to do is randomly find the most beautiful songs I can, and put them on a cd for someone......usually it's some artist no one has ever heard of, which is what makes it great. So here is a top ten list/play list.
Right now I am listening to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.....and it's awesome!
ok, I told myself ten....oh well. In no particular oder, btw. And yes, it's pathologically eclectic. But they are all beautiful. Check them out with samples on amazon or yahoo, myspace, etc....
