CDs & SACDs together in no particular order...
[Can't remember if these are the BEST five bought but they seem to remain in heavy rotation]

2) Bill Evans & Cannonball Adderley "Know What I Mean" - SACD/AnalogueProductions
3) Lizz Wright "Salt" - CD/Verve
4) Edgar Meyer "Bach Unnacompanied Cello Suites" performed on double bass - CD/SONY

The Be Good Tanyas--Blue Horse
The Be Good Tanyas--Chinatown
The Ahn Trio--Groovebox
Nickel Creek--Nickel Creek
Nickel Creek--This Side

(These five CDs represent a major departure from my
normal preference: classical. Thus far a successful attempt to find more available software.)

And Hau'oli Makahiki Hou back to you Kana813!

Well here is my top five (in no particular order):

Jayhawks - Rainy Day Music (pure pop at it's best)
Ziggy Marley - Dragonfly (Zig's coming of age record)
David Sanborn - Time Again (soooooo smoooth)
Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step (hard rock at it's best)
Rosanne Cash - Rules of Travel (a triumphant piece of music)
