So, over the last week involving my beach trip:

Audio Adrenaline: Bloom, Don't Censor Me
--A Christian rock band I have seen live at Kings Dominion and got into via my brother quite a few years ago when I wanted to listen to something without all the drama of current music I was listening to. They have a good Christian message without coming off as preachy. They also rock.

Bon Jovi: Slippery When Wet, New Jersey
--Only tow albums I ever got by them--the hits and overall albums are tough to beat for music from that era that still sound good today.

Cinderella: 20th Century Masters
--Picked it at Wal Mart a few years ago in a bargain bin. Lots of good stuff there. I had never gotten a cd/tape from them when they were "current" but I did like their tunes I had heard on MTV.

Creed: Weathered
--I liked it a lot.

Def Leppard: Vault
--A collection of their best hits.

DJ Jazzy jeff * The Fresh Prince: He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper
--First tape I got of theirs. Lots of good tracks abound. Wil Smith does have rap skills!

Easy-E: Easy Duz It
--Old school....lots of great West Coast hip hop from when it started to break

Iron Maiden: Best of the Beast
--A hits disc I had gotten a few years ago--good stuff.

Kid Rock: Devil Without a Cause
--One of hte best records showing of a artist that can be as good at rock as he is at rap. Lots of great hits on this. The only thing I don't like about his more recent material is it seems he has given up on trying to MC.

Lil Jon: Crunk Rock

Limp Bizkit: Gold Cobra
--decent return to form

Limp Bizkit: The Unquestionable Truth
--had some nice rockers on it but a very short EP.

MC Hammer: Platinum (hits)
--Lots of great hammertime hits on this cd. I had respect for him up until he went gangster

Pantera: Far Beyond Driven and Far beyond the Great Southern Cowboy'c Vulgar Hits
--Sometimes, when you are driving early in the morning you need that adrenaline rush LOL. I had and sold of my original copy of FBD. I liked it but wasn't into it. I got that hits disc when they had a Metal Month on VH1 and I got this double cd on sale at Best Buy. Loved all the music. I ended up re-buying FBD when it got re-released as a 20th Anniversary Special Edition. Also the 2nd cd of live stuff couldn't be beat.

P.O.D. Sattelite, Payable on death, and The Fundamental Elements of Southtown
--Great band, I got into them when FEoST broke... been a fan ever since and even went into their back catalog.

T.I.: King
--Lots of good rap jams on this.

Van Halen: 1984
--EPIC CD

Van Halen: A Different Kind of Truth
--A good return to form with DLR as lead man.

Whitesnake: 20th Century Masters
--What can I say, its a pretty good cd overall and aside from their major hits. I was surprised they could actually rock out like they did.
