Those of you on Facebook may have seen or participated in the listing of ten albums for ten days that influenced your life, musical growth, general outlook, or just have pretty album covers that you like. Being the musical people that we are, the Kralls had to jump on board. Since only three of us are on FB, and we could never wait ten days to see our lists, we just laid it all out at the dinner table last night.
Linnea: "Wait, I'm not ready!! Did I know we were doing this tonight?"
Mom: "I'm pretty sure I reminded you three times."
Linnea: "I was BUSY!" -- grabs a Post-it and begins to scribble frantically, while mumbling
Caroline: "You guys wrote yours down? Mine is just in my head! You can't just remember all ten?"
Tim: "I have five Honorable Mentions . . ."
Sabine: "FIVE?!? I thought we weren't allowed ANY! The list is limited to TEN!"
Sigh.
Without further ado . . .

Tim and Sabine would like to note that they don't need to hear any complaints about Nickelback. They know that everybody hates Nickelback. They love Nickelback. Deal with it.
Please feel free to comment, agree or disagree (except for Nickelback, see above), and provide some of your own favorites.
