Essential Ryan Adams

[Layne]

I just had gotten done listening " Gonna make you love me more" I just popped a thought that it was one of the most essential Ryan Adams songs

so I wanna know a list of what YOU think that is essential to the list


heres mine, starting with the songs by which they were released (by album)

To be young is to be sad (is to sad to be high)

i don't think i can do this. i have no idea how i would make a mix cd to introduce someone to ryan. i guess i sould first find out what kinds of music they listen to the most and than try to give them a mix ryan and his many styles

[hold on magnolia]

I'm going to add some Suicide Handbook and 48 Hours in there because I see them as being just as essential as any released album

i have given friends cold roses and it has made fans of them, but JCN did the same for my more country tending pals.

i don't know anyone that has not fallen in love after hearing magnolia mountain
