I do get the opportunity to pop a full length c.d. or download in every once in a while. There's a few that have really caught my attention and took over the "repeat" button. You probably have sampled even more full c.d.s than me, since I have to listen to all the singles that come my way as well as monitor the radio station. So I have a little list for you of some of my favorite c.d.s from the last few years that I didn't think got the attention approriate to the amount they deserve. The reasons could be anything, lack of promotion, they've outgrown their audience, and in one case, the c.d. is still on the charts and my yet earn the status I think it deserves. Check out my list of five and please feel free to add to it.

I'm not necessarily old school, but when it comes to my favorite bands, I want the c.d. with case. After checking my local record store for a couple of titles, I had come up short (record stores seem to focus more on movies and video games than music these days). I then went over to Amazon, I bought two titles and bought some other songs via download. I really liked the immediate satisfaction of the downloads, but it almost seems like you're renting an audio file more than anything else. On the other hand when I buy a c.d. I feel emotionaly invested in the artists career. I like to read who wrote the songs, who played on what, the stupid comments and whatever pictures the artist though were important to include.
