Top 3 Songs: Harborcoat, Rockville (Don't Go Back To), Pretty Persuasion
My favorite album from my favorite band. This particular album doesn't produce many hits but I absolutely love it. It feels raw, new, and unpolished all the reasons I love early R.E.M.

Top 3 Songs: Where The Streets Have No Name, With Or Without You, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I usually favor an album because it holds a certain nostalgic factor and U2, specifically the songs on this album really remind me of home.

Top 3 Songs: Billie Jean, Wanna Be Starting Something, P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)
I have a big soft spot for eighties pop and honestly, Mr. Jackson isn't called the King of Pop for nothing.

Top 3 Songs: Lyin' Eyes, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Take It Easy
I know it's a compilation album but I could give a damn. This was my introduction to the Eagles and what an introduction it was.
