This week: 13 albums that are rockin' Bubba's MP3 player.

1. Daughtry - Self Titled. I've never been an American Idol fan, but I like his music.
2. Godsmack - Good Times, Bad Times. I've always loved their music, even though some of their lyrics haven't appealed to me. Their concerts are awesome, especially when the lead singer sits on his own set of drums and shows that he can do more than just sing.
3. REM - Accelerate. I was one of those "only their old stuff is good" fans, but this latest effort is pretty cool.
4. Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Ledbetter Heights. His first album, and still very, very impressive. He was still too young to get a drink when this album came out, and still had some impressive chops.
5. Rush - Roll The Bones. Someone recently told me that if you're male and born between 1965 and 1975, it's mandatory that you like Rush. I'm sure that there are some that disagree, but Bubba ain't one of them.
6. INXS - The Greatest Hits. I'm not the biggest INXS fan, but there's a pretty wide variety of rockers, ballads, and everything in between on this compilation.
7. Lina - The Inner Beauty Movement. One of my online friends turned me on to her, and I just can't stop listening. Soulful R&B, nice voice, and lyrics are pretty decent.
8. Sara Bareilles - Little Voice. Incredible voice, great lyrics, and a nice variety of tempos.
9. Switchfoot - Nothing Is Sound
10. Hillsong United - United We Stand. As someone that does a fair share of volunteer work with the production staff at church, I probably should listen to a lot more worship music; however, I have a hard time doing so when I'm not at church. This album seems to be different for me, for some reason.
11. Matchbox 20 - Exile on Mainstream. This is their greatest hits album, and great listening.
12. Mike Oldfield - Elements: The Best of Mike Oldfield. I just realized I have a lot of greatest hits albums on here. Mike Oldfield is probably best remembered for Tubular Bells.
13. Phil Keaggy - Crimson and Blue. A contemporary Christian artist, he has the voice of Paul McCartney, and guitar-playing ability that surpasses anyone on earth, past or present. Yeah, I said it.

If you're a music lover and you see something you haven't heard or don't recognize...check 'em out. They're all good.
