How dare you leave off "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson. She certainly shined on American Idol. I tell you what!
Addition to that are:
ReJoyce: The Christmas Album - Jessica Simpson
Merry Christmas With Love - Clay Aiken
Best Of Mandy Moore - Mandy Moore
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative - Britney Spears
Miracle - Celine Dion
...and of course "Hilary Duff " by Hilary Duff - I mean come on... The Duff. She rocks! I'd do her too. But in a nice way... a wholesome all-American kind of do.. you know what I mean.
I must admit, I need to brush up on my Teen actor turned pop star turned actor (or vice-versa).
You mean teen actor turned pop star turned actor
turned drug addict
turned media whore,
turned actual whore,
turned rehabed anti-drug advocate,
turned born-again christian,
turned E-true hollywood story,
turned Hollywood Squares regular,
turned "Never been happier since collapse of career" story on news
turned up dead of painkillers in rundown hotel,
turned sad story on Entertainment Tonight,
turned morality tale of dead poor excuse of an artist?
Oops am I giving too much away on some of these peoples' futures? Sorry about that. I'd still do the Duff even if she turns into an all American crack whore.
Wasn't it Hillary Duff who got booed offstage at the Rose bowl. I mean, sure she sucks but poor kid.
Accidentally deleted the last comment. My robot had a burp. I meant no offense to Wilco, they're a wonderful band and "A Ghost is Born" is a truly great album. I've been riding the Wilco train ever since "Being There" came out. Its just that people EXPECT you to lavish unending acclaim upon them and whenever they release an album its obligatory that you have to consider it one of the most important albums ever. I was just being snarky. Anyway the statement has been retracted and replaced with sunnyday funtime sparkles to warm the cockles of your spleen.
I wish I could contribute to the list, but i'm so out of touch with music these days. I think I'll going to give your list a listen. The only album I bought in a long time was Cake's new album, which was pretty good, i guess. How's that for a critique. "It's okay, I think. I mean, if you like that king of thing, I guess"
