BLUEGRASS

Alison Krauss & Union Station. Everyone knows "Man of Constant Sorrow" from the movie Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?, but "When You Say Nothing At All" and "Atlanta" are wonderful, too.

Enya. Her music has become a bit commercialized and maybe even old, but they are still great compositions.
Great Big Sea
Loreen McKennit (& the rest of Celtic Woman)
Chieftains

CLASSICAL

Verdi's Aida

COUNTRY

Brad Paisley. He can pierce your heart with emotion ('Little Moments', 'Didn't Have to Be') or be uproariously funny ('I'm Gonna Miss Her').
Carrie Underwood.

Phantom of the Opera (and many other Andrew Lloyd Webber works)
Camelot (and many other Lerner and Loewe works)
Pirates of the Caribbean (The Curse of the Black Pearl)
Sound of Music (and many other Rodgers and Hammerstein works)
Sweeney Todd (beautiful tone contrasts and contrapuntal duets and trios)

REGGAE

Bob Marley -
Spyro Gyra (Do they fit here?)

ROCK

Sheryl Crow.
U2. Is there a (recent) rock song that can compete with 'Vertigo'?

SACRED

I love to hear Handel's Messiah, including the Hallelujah chorus, and For Unto Us a Child is Born.
Anything by Robin Mark, Revival in Belfast, Come Heal this Land, Revival in Belfast II.
Libera (London Boys Choir) - see http://www.libera.org.uk/

Why I love libraries

Themidge — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:56:53 CST

It is much safer to shop at the library :) Wallet-wise. The library provides knowledge, pleasure, opens new windows and expands minds, not to mention offers classes on computers, superior reference staff and the world of the web. PCLS ROCKS, yes it does

A place to share how libraries have helped you, entertained you and otherwise had an impact on you or those you know.

BTW: Be sure to visit the library's interactive photo album. Browse and comment!

---

It is much safer to 'window shop' at a library. I love browsing and the fact that anything I see, I can read or view or listen to, without affecting my bank balance. (I have 2 special spots at home where I place my library books and CDs, so I don't usually have to deal with fines or lost book fees!)
