Hey kid! Sorry but the only one I agree with on your list is the Jackson Browne. The remaster of his "Running on Empty" just came out on Tuesday and if you could wear a CD out, I would have already...it's REALLY GREAT!

My short list would include:

Elton John: Remaster of Captain Fantastic/Brown Dirt Cowboy
Antigone Rising: From the Ground Up
Mark Knopfler: Shangralah
Alison Krauss: Lonely Runs Both Ways
Great stuff! I am a Rock & Roll junkie as you can probably tell by my selections but I purchase and enjoy all types of music. Keep the recomendations coming! Been listening all day, I cannot believe it is already 4PM... What a great day.
