Podsafe Albums you MUST own!!
Alright... you're hip - you're cool - right? There are a boatload of lists of "must own" albums... the 2.0 generation knows that while the your classic collection has to have AC/DC's Back in Black and U2's Joshua Tree, and your jazz collection has to have Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, there is one more collection that you need to start now. When I spin out the top ten podsafe tunes each week on the Pod Music Countdown (PMC Top 10) I refer to this music as the "soundtrack of now."
Here are the podsafe albums you must own!!
Matthew Ebel - Beer & Coffee
Adrina Thorpe - elusive
Black Lab - Passion Leaves a Trace
Geoff Smith - Geoff Smith and the Tonewheels
Bob Gentry - Bob Gentry
Brother Love - Album of the Year
Derek James - Stray
Kevin Reeves - It's About Time
46bliss - 46bliss
Black Lab - See the Sun
Rather than prattle on about what is so great about each of these albums individually, let me talk about them as a group. These were selected not only because of the universal appeal of the music, but because each has made a significant contribution to the podsafe music scene. They are not placed in the list in any particular order and all belong in your collection.
Want to try before you buy? Go to the PMC Top 10 and listen to the last two years of countdowns. Then, do like the cool kids are doing and put these bad boys (plus Clare and Adrina) on your coffee table. Watch your coolness factor instantly rise.

I love the list, but thought Cool Waters Band should be on it too. The only one I don't own on that list yet is the new one by Black Lab. But I WILL!

I only own three of them (Adrina Thorpe, Black Lab - See the Sun, and Bob Gentry.) Does that mean I'm only 30% cool? ;)

No, Jen - it means you are 30% COOLER than the average person . :)

Great list. I own all but 3 of the albums. Only recommendation I have is add Phil Ayoub.
