80s
Michael Jackson
Thriller: 25th Anniversary Edition
Sony Music
Before he turned into a circus freak with a rotting nose, Michael Jackson made some pretty awesome music. This period in his career is cited as inspiration by some of today's hottest artists. Listen to his past glory with this special edition.
SCOTTISH
Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
Spirit of the Glen
Fontana Universal
Bagpipes - I know I don't have enough of them in my musical collection, and neither do you. In this case, Scotland's only cavalry regiment just happens to be made up of trained musicians. They have all spent two tours in Iraq and play a killer version of Amazing Grace. Everyone needs a copy of this.
ROCK
British Sea Power
Do You Like Rock Music?
Rough Trade Records
So, do you? Because British Sea Power has plenty of rock music for you at bargain basement prices (well, almost). The band's third album will please most fans, and probably gain "favorite" status with a few.
FOLK
Carrie Newcomer
The Geography of Light
Philo Records
I know almost nothing about folk music, but people who do seem to be rather excited about Newcomer's latest album. I'm just excited that there is another record featuring mandolins being let out into the wild.
AMBIENT
Goldfrapp
A & E
Mute US
Ok, technically, it's a single. But, as is often the case with 'dance' singles, it features five different versions of the song (which is roughly the same length as 75% of a Coldplay album). And it's called A & E. If I can get a bulk discount, everyone at the Pride is getting a copy.
