 In no particular order:
Miles Davis, "Kind of Blue"

Miles Davis, "Black Beauty: Live At Fillmore West"

Thelonious Monk, "Monk's Music"

Jade Warrior, "Elements: The Island Anthology"

Vince Guaraldi, "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Little Richard, "The Essential Little Richard"

Isaac Hayes, "Live At Lake Tahoe"

What, if anything, does this say about me?

1. I have way too much time on my hands, thinking about this sort of thing, and should probably get out more.

2. I don't listen to as much rock & roll as I used to.
