15 albums that will stay with you forever

Via Stewart: There is a meme bouncing around Facebook at the moment…

The rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums you’ve heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me, because I’m interested in seeing what albums my friends choose. (If you’re on Facebook: To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note– upper right hand side.)??

I’m breaking the rules. I’m not going to tag anyone (either) but if you feel like answering the meme either on your own blog or in the comments below. I’d be interested to know.

  1. They Might be Giants – Apollo 18
  2. Nirvana – Nevermind
  3. U2 – Achtung Baby
  4. dcTalk – Jesus Freak
  5. Weezer – Weezer (the Blue album)
  6. Green Day – Dookie
  7. Nirvana – MTV Unplugged
  8. Beach Boys – 20 Good Vibrations, The Greatest Hits
  9. U2 – Rattle and Hum
  10. George Straight – Pure Country Soundtrack
  11. The Beatles – 1967-1970 (The Blue Album)
  12. Audio Adrenaline – Don’t Censor Me
  13. Jars of Clay – Jars of Clay
  14. Aerosmith – Big Ones
  15. U2 – All That You Can’t Leave Behind

Today ends our campaign

BTW – Today is the last day of the campaign with charity:water to raise $5000 to build a fresh water well for those in need.

(Why water?)

So far we’ve raised $150 — enough to give clean, fresh drinking water to 7 people for the next 20 years! That’s awesome! But I know that as Insurgents of Love we can do better than that.

It’d be great to reach our goal of $5000 by day’s end — but I’ll be realistic and admit that’s a really unlikely chance — but perhaps each you’ll prove me wrong…. (hint, hint, hint).

Yes, money’s tight. Yes, you’re being hit up for money from all sides… but if you could spare a few dollars today to get us one step closer to that goal, you can help us change the life of those in desperate need.

(Who is charity:water?)

And my offer to give away a free e-book copy of my novel to everyone who donates, still stands. Any donation, of any amount today will receive an e-book (PDF) copy of my novel. Think of it as “name your own price” to help those in need and get a free novel along the way.

So — will you help? Will you donate?

Thanks in advance!

Donate now.
