In case of JEOPARDY

The category is…Trixie’s Albums That Just Don’t Get Old.

For $100:

This 2003 release stunned me with its lyrical complexity and rainy-day mellow sound.  The artist, though male, evokes in me memories of the vocal stylings of a certain former roommate. 

For $200:

This 2002 soul-influenced rock album is maybe the sexiest collection of songs I’ve ever heard.

For $300:

This 1993 compilation album is a family classic and takes its name from a once-popular geography-based TV game show.  Featuring bands such as Urban Blight, The Persuasions, and 3 Brave Woodsmen.

For $400:

There’s nothing not to love about this 2005 solo effort by a female English singer-songwriter.  The sound ranges from alternative to electronica and the lyrics are almost dialogue, asking and answering questions.

For $500:

Though not their first album, this 2001 release was my introduction to my probably all-time favorite band.  They’re prolific, consistent, and generally have the respect of the public and music snobs alike.  The night I heard this album, I knew it was love.

And please.  Remember to phrase your answers in the form of a question.
