"Annie Waits" - Ben Folds
Two of my favorite albums ever were released on the same day some ten years ago; Jay-Z's The Blueprint and Ben Folds's Rockin The Suburbs. Both have had a tremendous impact on my listening tastes. Jay-Z gave way to artists like Big Pun, Big L, Nas and Lupe Fiasco. Ben Folds gave way to Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, John Mayer and Wilco. I can play both albums from front to back without skipping a thing. I picked the opening track, despite there not being a decent video of it on YouTube outside of him playing Live at Bonnaroo. I fell in love with this music as soon as I heard that epic hand clap.
