Audiogon Grammys

OK, Lets have our own little audiogon grammy awards...Who do you pick for the "Best Recording of the Year" (sound quality, how good record was etc) My vote goes to Norah Jones, this is one of the only albums on last year that I can listen to from beginning to end. I also love how this recording sounds in my system. Who do you pick? Feel free to add other categories...

I do not think Verse is PB's best offering.

Norah Jones came out of nowhere, and sings in a style which is a cross between country and jazz. That combined style may not sound good on paper, but I love her style.

Norah Jones deserves it.
Finally a really good and interesting vocalist (not to mention well recorded) sells a lot of albums and is very popular.

I nominate Patti Griffith, 1000 Kisses. I play this and the afore-mentioned Beck, Sea Change, all the time.

In the film score category, I'd nominate the soundtrack from Lord of eh Rings - The Two Towers. Superbly recorded and stunning music. Theater systems will not prepare you for how good this soundtrack is. If you liked the film at all, this recording will bring it back to you in spades. And I will guarantee that this CD will tell you what your system's made of. Check it out, folks.

Favorite tracks:
3. The Riders of Rohan
6. The King of he Golden Hall
8. Evenstar
11. The Leavetaking
12. Helm's deep
14. Breath of Life
15. The Hornburg
16. Forth Eorlingas
