Einstein on the Beach is my favorite Phillip Glass. Not that I own it, but I used to check it out of the library.
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
It's possibly my fave too. I bought it in '85, after reading a Rolling Stone profile on Glass.
eta: I don't play it that often ('cuz it's long ) but sometimes if I'm in a bad mood or really depressed, it's the only thing I want to hear....
ICompletelyON, I am out of it, as my coffee hasn't taken effect. I wanted to listen to The Weavers, but I was searching my iTunes for The Reavers.
Oopsie.
I'm a big fan of Glass' soundtrack for Kundun, probably because it sounds so different than his other stuff, which I also like, but can get somewhat samey after a while.

You really need to wear the white cotton gloves for that job.
Totally...the contact high would be epic.
Recently CJ asked if I had ever heard of the Grateful Dead. Heeee
The don't mention David Simon by name, but makers of The Wire turn to music business: [link]
I think my favorite Phillip Glass is his soundtrack for Powaqqatsi. It has a bit more world music feel to it. Never heard Einstein on a Beach.
