     This is a catalog of all the albums, musicians, and bands that I think others should hear, having heard them myself.  The list is broken up into Bands, Musicians, Composers, and Soundtracks. Like the movies page, this will be alphabetized at a later time.

     To the right is the album/artist I'll be highlighting for awhile.  The artist is Green Day and the album is American Idiot.  It screams instant classic.  From American Idiot to Jesus Of Suburbia / City Of The Damned / I Don't Care / Dearly Beloved / Tales Of Another Broken Home to Boulevard of Broken Dreams to Are We the Waiting to She's a Rebel to Whatsername.  The whole album is great from start to end. The fact it has such a strong political and societal message held within it just makes it that much better.  A must-have album.

                                                                      -Joel
