Rocktopus, please list all the classical works seperately. Otherwise I'll have one person say one album that includes Shostakovich's 4th but is a different album than what you said, and likely neither will make the list. Thanks.

I don't mind, but these are all actual album/CD releases. Where do I draw the line for classical work?

And Janis Joplin too.

Bah, maybe I do mind a little. Its the double CD containing all Bartok's string quartets I love, not just one quartet. Same thing with the Bach LP, and the Fred Van Hove, Wolfgang Daune split-album.

Oh yeah, I'll have to cross them off.

EDIT: list now fixed.

Alright, fair enough.

Since Miles isn't yet added, he is allowed.
