Hmm...only ten?	Here is waht I did off the top of my head with my list of CDs
in front of me.  Depending on the day they took me the list might change a 
little, the list is alos in no particular order.

1 - Siberry, Jane           The Speckless Sky
	This one was fairly easy but it ties with all here other work very 
closely. The Canadian version of "the Walking" and "Bound By the Beauty" came
closest to replacing this one.

2 - Kansas                  Song for America
	Mainly for "Song for America", "Lamplight Symphony", and "Devil Game"
Gotta have something with Livgren and Walsh... (Monolith comes close too...)

3 - Boiled in Lead	    Orb    
	What can I say here...Celto-Bulgarian-Punkish-Thrash with lyrics that
make you think (and some that don't)...

4 - Bush, Kate              Never For Ever
	This was a tough one...NFE the Dreaming or Hounds...right now it's NFE

5 - 10,000 Maniacs          The Wishing Chair
	Easily my favorite of the bunch

6 - XTC                     Mummer
	To mellow out with and of course has the theme song "Desert Island"
Great guitar and bass work...

7 - Camper Van Beethoven    CVB II & III
	Obnoxious Pseudo-ethnic violin work, aren't y'all cowboys from 
hollywood?

8 - Chagall Guevera         Chagall Guevera
	Pop & funk, grungy guitars and catchy riffs...a must have even with
the two or three weaker tracks

9 - U2 	                    October
	To lift me out of the depression of being stranded alone...

0 - Williams, Victoria      Swing the Statue
	Eclectic voice put to very good use and awesome music, nice diversity
