5 Albums I Can’t Live Without

 

1
Something/Anything?,
Todd Rundgren

 

 

My high school fave, love every song on it.

 

2
Madman Across the Water
, Elton John

 

 

Every song means something to me and all of his records except the later ones…

3
Every record by the Cars

 

 

All reminds me of being a musician in Boston in the ‘80s…best time ever to be a musician…

4
Funplex
, B-52’s

 

 

Reminds me of living on Whitemarsh Island in Savannah, Georgia with my husband. We would blast that on the way down to Tybee in his VW Beetle.

5
The Payback
, James Brown

 

 

Would have the title song on loop all night much to my neighbors’ chagrin. (Talk about giving up your age…)
