I don't know how I could've missed U2's Unforgettable Fire. DOH!
I'd be hard pressed to think of five, I'm just that backward, musically speaking. Sad huh? I guess for me it's not so much albums as it is particular songs. But here are a few that, while I don't know that they've changed my life, they've moved me and lingered with me.
U2- Joshua Tree
Sting- Soul Cages
Paul Simon- Rhythm of the Saints
It is coming eventually!
