What's in my CD Player?

... OK, I decided to let you all know what is currently in my 6-CD player in my car. I'm not cheating, either. So even if I have a really cheesy or embarrassing CD in there right now, I shall admit it (although luckily, I don't).

CD 1: Coldplay - X&Y : It took a while for me to start liking this one. I still don't like all the songs, but most of them have grown on me. Favorite tracks are 4, 7, 10 and 11.
CD 2: Keane - Hope and Fears : I bought this album because of the singles "Somewhere Only We Know" and "This Is the Last Time". The rest of the album is OK; their slows songs, sans drums, are not very good, IMHO.
CD 3: REM - Life's Rich Pageant : One of my favorite REM albums, from way back in 1986. This is one of those discs I can listen from beginning to end without having to skip any songs. It also contains Michael Stipe's favorite REM song, "Fall On Me", which also is one of mine.
CD 4: Chemical Brothers - Galvanize : I really got into electronica back in the mid-90's, and bought of slew of discs back then of that type of genre. While most of the other groups have faded, I still thoroughly enjoy this group along with Crystal Method. Great CD, another one I can listen from beginning to end. They saved the best tracks for last - 10 & 11 are great.
CD 5: Snow Patrol - Final Straw : One of my favorite albums right now. Simply amazing. I've probably listened to it once a day since I bought it 6 months ago and it still hasn't gotten old. It's hard to describe their sound, but if you Coldplay and some acoustic rock, you'd probably like this album.
CD 6: Morrissey - Greatest Hits: A must have in a CD collection. "Hairdresser on Fire", c'mon does it get any better than that?

I must be in a "Europe" faze right now, because all of the above groups hail from across the Atlantic except REM.

Funny, I have Morrissey's greatest hits in my car's cd player too. I LOVE that cd.

By the way, X&Y is still growing on me, too.
