After much hand-wringing, I came up with 10 CDs, all released in the Nineties, that are among my favorites. That's the closest I'm going to get to saying "here are the 10 best CDs of this decade so far". They are listed in no particular order. It looks somewhat different from the lists I've seen so far (maybe I just don't get out enough) : Phil Keaggy Find Me in These Fields Adam Again Homeboys Texas Mothers Heaven Texas Ricks Road U2 Achtung Baby REM Out of Time Mark Heard Dry Bones Dance Seventy-Sevens Pray Naked Sam Phillips Martinis and Bikinis The Choir Speckled Bird Conspicuously missing are the Connells. Maybe that's because I've finally just about decided that my favorite Connells album is *Fun and Games*, which came out in 1989 -- and is therefore disqualified from consideration. Steve
