Ok, so I got a gift certificate to Best Buy. What CDs to get?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

What CDs shall I be purchasing?

Suggestions. I have so many I want, but not enough money in the world to get them. So give me your top picks and I'll see if they match up with mine.

[lies and propaganda]

1. Without knowing what type of music you are into...

The new A Perfect Circle album is so damn wonderful. I will already put it in my top ten cds ever.

It is a concept album about peace, with some classics remade so awesomely you may feel guilty liking it better than the originals.

And i cried the first time i listened to it with headphones.

so thats my vote...

2. Linkin Park or Green Day if you don't have them yet

3. Have Green Day

Linkin Park's songs all sound the same to me, but maybe I'll d/l some of their other stuff and see if I like it.

10. Have you heard thier song 'This is my December'

That song just makes me cry every time I hear it. On second thought maybe you should go for something a little more uplifting
