Amanda's CD Wish List

Nickelback "Silver Side Up"-Straight out of Vancouver, British Columbia, this rock band is the next big thing in the world of hard rock music. Introspective lyrics and raw music make for some heart-pounding songs. Power 97 in Winnipeg called lead singer Chad "the most talented and most driven guy" in the music business.

Mary J. Blige "No More Drama"-Mary J is back with a change up album...different from her more mellow, introspective albums. This one is all about having fun and livin' it up! Her first single "Family Affair" is already a bit hit on the radio!

Shakira "Laundry Service"-The latest Latin music star to cross over to English albums, this Columbian singer shows she can really pack a punch! With her powerful voice and some awesome songs, this album is sure to be a hit! And her first single "Whenever, Wherever" is making big waves here in the U.S.!

U2 "All That You Can't Leave Behind"-Yeah, I know this album has been out for over a year, but you know the old saying "A classic never dies?" Apply the same concept to U2's latest album...this collection of songs is bound to be a classic for the Irish band years down the road. "Elevation" and "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" are powerful and passionate. You can't beat that!
