Hey List, it's the holidays. What's the best gift of music you ever got?

Wm. Crump

It's a toss up between the complete "You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore" series from Frank Zappa, the "Sound & Vision" box set from Bowie or an autographed CD from Elvis Costello. Can you tell that my friend worked for Rykodisc?

Other cool holiday music gifts:

Tickets to see the Black Sabbath reunion show in Boston a few of years back
The Billy Bragg/Wilco documentary "Man in the Sand"
"Best of Broadside 1962-1988" box set
A framed photo of me and Elvis Costello backstage
The book version of Ken Burns' Jazz
