Who's "Billy Bradd"?

I've been keeping track on another board. So, I figured that I would post the list here and see if anyone else was keeping track and wanted to post their list(s). I've bought more than I thought!

I can't believe that I am the only one with Raphael Saadiq on their list. Wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjTccwj0IZc

Raphael Saadiq - Stone Rollin' Yep - Once k.d. lang - Sing it Loud That's all I got for now. I'll check in with more when I think of deserving albums. EDIT: Oh yeah, this one, too... Daniel Romano - Sleep Beneath The Willow
