Audiophile Lemming
[Yet another lemming grikked from kangitanka3...]
The premise is make a list of 5 to 10 [or in the case of the indecisive KT3, 15 :)] CDs that most people you know wouldn't have heard of but which they should definitely hear.

This should be entertaining. :) Here are mine... note that some of these -are- a bit obscure, but they're -ALL- worth at least a listen:

01	Children of the Sun ... Revisited	Billy Thorpe
02	Outside Looking In	BoDeans
03	Everybody Loves a Nut	Johnny Cash
04	Hall of the Mountain King	Savatage
05	Slightly Skewed	Molly & the Tinker
06	Allied Forces	Triumph
07	High Tea	The New Saint George
08	Surfing to Mecca	Tempest
09	Firestorm	Leslie Fish
10	Seasons of the Heart	John Denver

Narrowing that down to ten was difficult. There're releases that're far more recent than these (the most recent of which is [I think] the 1992 Molly & the Tinker release), but few that I find more potent. I've avoided repeating an artist (as I could do with Savatage, Leslie Fish, and Johnny Cash) in favor of a more versatile list. I'm curious to see if -anyone- on my friends list has more than two of these. :p Unfortunately, there're two listings (#05 and #07) that /I/ no longer own copies of.

At any rate... have fun!

You like Leslie Fish! Another reason to cultivate your acquaintance, I see.

Wow. Even with my background I don't have a M&T CD. Interesting, because you've now placed me in time with you. That CD is 1 year before I entered faire, I believe. I was 93 or 94.

THis is a difficult time for me to remember, because I don't have an institution attatched to it (St. Raymond's, Loyola, Kansas, Etc...) I do remember using faire as an excuse to get an advanced directing class in college. That had to be the second year I knew Jesslin...

That decade really flew by. I think I was insane back then, but I'm not sure...

Hmm...

...I've been meaning to check out Tempest for ages (you'd think as rabid a Celtic Rock fan as I would have bought some of their stuff long ago), especially since I saw them live at the North Texas Irish Fest a few years ago.

Thanks for the recommendation!
