Mitch Hedberg's album. "Strategic Grill Locations", it even has bass accompaniment!

I haven't heard a whole album of hers, but I'm a big fan of Ursula Rucker's poetry. You might know her from the intro and end tracks from all the Roots albums.

+1 for Henry Rollins. I saw his live spoken word performance earlier this year. Witty, intelligent and thought-provoking.

All the Bill Hicks CDs, concerts, DVDs etc etc - the man is a God.

Also if you haven't been listening to it on Radio 4, when they were playing it recently, but the original Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy is just brilliant - great cast and great realisation, it's one you'll happily listen to again and again.

If you've never heard of it go here for all the info you'll ever need:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/

- if you haven't read the books by Douglas Adams (RIP) I suggest you get acquianted with them, they're excellent as well.
