Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers?

DK bores me, too. Contrary to Buxter, I find Patricia Barber to be innovative and an interesting lyricist, much like Dave's True Story.

Patricia Barber, Tierney Sutton, Paula West, Christine Tobin all put out much better recordings (IMO) than DK.

I prefer DK playing "Down the Street".

I guess for me, I don't always want to hear the most stimulating, exciting, provoking performance. I guess since I am a professional musician, and do so much practicing, analyzing,performing, recording, rehearsing... Alot of the time I just want something soothing to relax me, like a glass of nice single malt.... or more in keeping with this thread, a sam adams. And if you go thru all the DK threads, there are actually many people shooting her down unnecessarily. She's an easy target. And I don't care what people think of my musical tastes. For me, it is a personal taste thing and a matter of function.

Buxter,

I agree that musical tastes are personal. I just hope we 'gonners don't take things personally in the process of exchanging opinions and views.

Speaking of personal tastes, what's your favorite single malt? Perhaps another thread on this?! For me, Lagavulin, Talisker, Knockando, depending on my mood, time of day, time of year....

Lagavulin! Glenlivet as bread and butter scotch.
