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.
