I am currently eyeing out my CD collection. Thought I would share my top Six music albums of all time (or at this time): 

1. Billie Holiday - Lady sings the blues
This just gets straight to my soul. I don't think a finer record has been made. 

2. Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of life & Marvin Gaye - Whats going on? 
Life changing. Never fail to make me smile. Its really hard to listen to new music after listening to these two albums. They are definitive to every musical genre (except maybe death metal). 

3. Paulo Nutini - These streets 
And then you get to this guy. A rare "new" gem. I cannot believe hes younger than me, it makes me want to re-evaluate my bucket list. I think particles of Ottis Redding must have entered his spirit. This was my soundtrack when living abroad in Spain. Get enchanted. 

4. Finley Quaye - Maverick A Strike 
Just a pure hypnotic elixir of an album.

5. Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club
Listening to this album is like literally taking prozac. Its so euphoric and dreamy. Anytime I feel lost, I just put this on and it transports me to a better place. 

6. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
Therapy. 


Would love to know yours - share it with me in the comment section below :)
