Question for Music Lovers or anyone else

[datahawk]

If you and I were to go to a (insert music store of choice) together, what is one CD that you would just insist I get?

Doesn't matter the genre, the only things I don't care for are gangsta rap and thrash metal. Otherwise alls fair.

No this is not a meme, it's an honest question. I have found in the last couple weeks that I do not have enough music, especially new music. I've been listening to the same stuff (tho I love it, everything does get old after awhile) and would like some new stuff. There are tons of CD's I've wanted for ages, I think it's time to start spending time on half.com or something.

I would suggest finding a music store where a salesperson doesn't blink when you ask for music in the genre, "Something that hurts my brain."

Then start placing random words together, and see what the clerk suggests.

"Angry German Men singing Sinatra" netted me Einstürzende Neubauten's Strategies Against Architecture, which does include a German industrial band doing a Nancy Sinatra cover, "Sand." Very nice.

"A black man singing a white man's songs" earned me The Persuasions' Frankly A Capella, in which a doo-wop group sings Frank Zappa. Including two pieces which were originally instrumental.
