I am RATM fan too, here are some of the recomendation;

1992: Rage Against the Machine (must have, masterpiece)
1996: Evil Empire (must have)
1999: The Battle of Los Angeles (must have, masterpiece)
2000: Renegades (some songs are good)

Overall is must have.

Ohh... RATM is Metal+Rap. More creative than Linkin Park and not heavy than Metallica. Definitely not like Limp Biskut.

Miles Davis good bo?

what about chinese/cantonese (especially canto!) good jazz/easy listening cds?

apart from cai4 qin2 whom i like but can't listen to too often, are there jazzy/acoustic renditions of pop music which are recommended?

as someone mentioned, chen2 jie2 li4's albums are good, she's got a classic voice which still suits certain pop songs. am currently looking for more!

Well if you are game try this 2V1G from Malaysia. 2 voices and 1 guitar. IMHO very well done.
Here's the site http://2v1g.blogspot.com/. Can order from them cos the local record stores don't stock them, not known woh.

Is this the album which was being played by Perfect Hi-Fi through the Audio Research + Sonus Faber combo during the KLIAV show? They played some cantonese jazz songs that time.

2008 Universal Music compilation.
3 cds - 57 songs for less than RM 50..
