My Workstation's Favorite CDs

A list of CD's that I have listened to in the office on my workstation CD player, thanks to Steven Grimm's WorkMan.

Obviously the program that generates this web page needs some heuristics to improve the sorting. I hope to improve things but in general the data isn't stored in a form that will allow me to solve the problem completely.

Some of the CD listings include links to lyrics and guitar chords in CHORD format; try Elvis Costello's Brutal Youth, any of the Matthew Sweet's or the Verlaine's Way Out Where for examples.

You may need to pick up my .chordrc to get definitions of some of the chords I use.

I also have a list of lyrics / guitar chords sorted by artist and song title.
