I'm sorry...did you say "Marlo Thomas?"
Free to Be You and Me was an album I istened to as a child. There are many lessons and beliefs that still serve me well from that album. It belongs in the top ten.
An album that honestly changed my life and how I view it was David Crowder's Illuminate.
Are individual songs okay too?
Cause if so...
Praise Chorus: Jimmy Eat World
Closing Time: Semisonic
More Than a Feeling: Boston
Glorious: Everclear
At Last: Etta James
Lemon Tree: Peter, Paul, and Mary
When the Fool Becomes a King: The Polyphonic Spree
Life is a Highway: Tom Cochrane
these songs all remind me that at the end of the day, life is beautiful.
Free to be... that will live on as a reminder of our childhood, and I totally remember looking at your George Harrison album and thinking, "my brother is cool."
