What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dave Weckl Band, Synergy The Rippingtons, Curves Ahead Various Artists, GRP 10th Anniversary Collection The representation of a group sound has been most appealing to me over the years, and the albums selected are composed of some of the finest musicians in the world. The songwriting and the back and forth musical exchanges are most captivating.
