Hey List -- I'm wondering what l.p.s (other than Travelogue) have been your picks for 2002. Here's my short list:
Norah Jones -- Come Away With Me (a great emerging talent) Eminem -- The Eminem Show (by far the best pop artist of his time, and an album which not only holds up but improves with repeated listenings. Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out into Em's world) Joseph Malik -- Diverse (soulful electronica) Remy Shand -- The Way I Feel (a great first effort, Stevie Wonder/Marvin Gaye influenced) Nightmares on Wax -- Mind Elevation (tripped-out electronica with influences from reggae, hip-hop, and acid jazz) Meshell Ndegeocello -- Cookie (worth it for "Earth" alone. Not everyone's cup of tea...I suggest some good herb with this one) Judy Garland -- The Show That Got Away (highlights from her TV show years, revealing the later Garland as far more than a camp icon...many entertaining duets, but also some moving and painfully expressive ballads)
