I think that there may be a CD player in my house, but I have no notion of how to turn it on.

I remember affectionately a number of LP's (long playing records) but the memories are adequate without vinyl reinforcement.

1)Tool- AEnima <<<<<simply, as good as music gets
2)Failure- Fantastic Planet <<<<<<even better
3)Beatles- White Album <<<< ok, its a double set, but who's counting?

5)Otis Redding- Greatest Hits <<<Pure human passion, no equal

1. My mixed tape of Baroque classics created for me by an old boyfriend when we still had love
2. A CD of early and renaissance music
3. Either the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill or Odelay by Beck
4. A mixed tape created by a friend no longer here that chronicles her love life through songs

Alias Irrelevante

I'm going to assume CD's means albums here, which allows for multiple-discs.
1) Ani DiFranco's Living In Clip
2) a burned off CD containing my favorite Caroline's Spine songs
3) a compilation disc of classical music
4) A tape of my late father's that I used to listen to constantly when I visited him after my parents' divorce.
5) Tool's Ĉenima
