I didn't think you'd reply that quickly! Welcome Home was released around the same time as I met my first real girlfriend, so will always have a fond place in my heart. But I agree with about Aimee, it would be nice if she cheered up once in awhile. But the track 'Freeway' was the best thing she's done in a very long time. Wow, Kevin.

Just 10? There are hundreds on the wall to my right. Too many years of a bad habit. But here goes. Billy Joel - Glasshouses The first album I ever owned. Sugarland - Love On The Inside It Happens provided a whole new way to get through the crappy days. Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks Okay, so it's technically 8 albums but there's genus in there. Red Hot Chilli Pipers - Bagrock to the Masses Not a typo, a group of pipers from Scotland. Anyone who can play Rockin All Over The World on the pipes gets my vote. Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska On the last 3 tours the stand out song has been a reworked song from here. Open All Night (Seeger Sessions), Reason To Believe (Magic) & Johnny 99 (current). The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith 500 Miles has become an anthem for the world. Lloyd Dobler Effect - Lloyd Dobler Effect Named after a character from a John Cusack movie. Absolutely brilliant album. Nick Kelly - Between Trapezes Some of the best lyrics ever written. Plus the closing lies of the last track mirror the start of the first. Saw Doctors - If This Is Rock n Roll Can I Have My Old Job Back? Great title, great cover and THE best lyric to ever open an album: "I have fallen for another she can make her own way home" Del Amitri - Change Everything Bitter. Twisted. Glasgow's finest. Give me 5 minutes and I'll change half of these, but you wanted some suggestions. There's some good song to sing in these albums. 10? Just 10? There are hundreds on the wall to my right. Too many years of a bad habit. But here goes.
