It’s that time of the season when all the Holiday Gift Guides appear, like the one I just saw from iTunes.  They’ve got it broken down by gift giving, making it easy for even the most non-musical shopper to buy for that special someone.

Little Brother & Sister would get Hannah Montana 2 - Meet Miley Cyrus
Teammates & Roommates: As I Am - Alicia Keys
Friends & Coworkers: David Gray - Greatest Hits
Mom & Dad: The Very Best of Diana Krall
Something for Everyone: Mothership - Led Zeppelin
Holiday Shoppers would get Christmas Song from Mannheim Steamroller

The Reissues & Deluxe Editions caught my eye, because this has been a great year for classic rock reunions and special re-issued albums and box sets.  Like The Joshua Tree Deluxe Edition and The Song Remains the Same, plus John Mayer’s Continuum.

And it’s great to see Jordin Sparks finally release her new album.

But my personal picks would be:
Complete Clapton - Eric Clapton
One Man Band (Live) - James Taylor
Revival - John Fogerty
Ultimate Santana
It Won’t Be Soon Before Long - Maroon 5
The Goo Goo Dolls Greatest Hits Volume 1
Exile On Mainstream - Matchbox Twenty
