Best of What's Around - The Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming
_A classic album and a really really good song. I think this song defines what this album (and possibly the entire DMB mantra) is all about. A laid-back, really hopeful album. From the drum roll intro to the "Hey la la..." outro, it always puts me in a great mood. And it's good advice to live by.
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 - War
_I don't actually have anything to say about this one. Just really bloody good.
Everything in its Right Place - Radiohead - Kid A
_From an album that was not marketed (nor did it have a single) this song boldy and beautifully announced Radiohead's foray into electronica. From the scary, warbly looping of Thom's voice to the simple but addicting piano this song has it all. It jumps at you and grabs you. Play it in your car, and you'll get what I mean. Just wow.
Shine on you Crazy Diamond (pts. 1-5) - Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
_As usual with Pink Floyd, I have very little idea of where they are coming from...but also as usual, I absolutely love every second of it.
Panther Dash - The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike
_Wow, this whole album was a revelation to me. Such creativity and fun and energy(go!) just pouring all over this album. Please let me play this for you someday.
_I wanted to get things started off on the right foot here. I probably define myself by music more than anything, so I can't imagine a better re-introduction than that.
Check back in...I'm an official IU student now (I have classes!) and I will be writing about starting all over and falling in love daily/hourly/its summer and girls are wearing skirts/IU girls are somehow hotter than Purdue girls. Whether or not this bodes well for me remains to be seen.

Good list Todd, also your idea helped inspire me to start up a new blog of my own with a bit more focus than my previous ones. I even wrote a list of my own. -Craig
