On Saturday, 9/16/2007, I drove over to West Palm Beach, Florida to see Fall Out Boy in concert. I was chaperoning my daughter and her friends and though I like some of their songs, I’m certainly not a huge fan.

Giving you the Best that I’ve Got: Anita Baker (music album)

M People (music group)

The Doors - L.A. Woman

It has been quite a while since a singer has released an album with so many singles that I really, really like with the last such albums going back to Tamia’s self titled album, Puff Johnson’s ‘Miracle’ and Anita Baker’s ‘Caught up in a Rapture’.

KISS ALIVE II
ALIVE II

Back Here by BBMak
