Of course the CD's are great -- it's just pathetic that I bought so few CDs last year. In days of yore, I used to buy at least 3 new albums a week -- and I was broke! Actually, maybe that's why I was broke. Now all my discretionary income goes to Starbucks and Walgreen's pharmacy. Ah well, here you go: 1. Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE (arguably ineligible) 2. Michael Carpenter - Rolling Ball (attaboy Stagefright!) 3. Alan Boyd - Channel Surfing (channeling Brian) Honorable mention, but surely not eligible: Beatles - US Capitol Albums, Vol. 1 (reverb-a-licious) Marty P.S. Question -- I absolutely loved the Cowsill's 'Global' CD of a few years back. Does that mean I'll also love the new Susan Cowsill CD?
