I usually don't ask for music for Christmas, I periodically pick up a CD I want, but I'm broke this year....there are quite a few good albums I must have on my Christmas list this year:
-Greenday "American Idiot" (wow, this album blows me away)
-The Muse "Absolution"(ya, so they sound a lot like Radiohead, but it reminds me of their old stuff, it kicks my ass

)
-Keane "Hopes and Fears" (what can I say, love it!)
-newly reformed SuperDeluxe "Lolita" EP (I'm so excited they're back!!!)
-Norah Jones "Feels Like Home" (I have her previous album and it's great, I have no doubt in my mind this will be just as good, if not better)
-Jonny Lang "Long Time Coming" (I love his song Red Light)
-Modest Mouse "Good News for People Who Love Bad News" (Gawd, I love them, knew them since they were unknown, playing concerts for my college radio station and w/ my friend's band- and they just keep getting better!)
I could add more, but I'll stop for now. These are my top picks.............
How about your choices?
