If someone is selecting for a list of best albums, they are likely to pick those that have withstood the test of time. I know there are quite a few modern albums that I have bought within the last few months that I like a lot and play a lot. I would be very hesitant to put them on a list of my favorite albums, though, until I've had them for a year or more. ("Brothers in Arms" comes to mind.) The reason is that sometimes you will find an album you think is great, and a year later is nothing. The really good ones get better. -- Sue Brezden Real World: Room 1B17 Net World: ihnp4!drutx!slb AT&T Information Systems 11900 North Pecos Westminster, Co. 80234 (303)538-3829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I march to the beat of a different drummer, whose identity, location, and musical ability are as yet unknown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
