I'm trying to decide which of these 2 cast recordings to buy! Help!

Parade
or
[title of show]

I know they're both incredibly different, but which one should I buy?

As much as I love the classic Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sondheim, I'm always looking for really original musicals with a definitive voice and very original music. Just something I've never heard before.
Like Next to Normal and Avenue Q.

Yeah, I was leaning towards Parade aswell.

Parade! (TOS) is cute, but Parade is something special.

PARADE all the way! Jason Robert Brown is one of the best composers working today, and PARADE is a fine score, and a moving show.

Two other cast albums/scores I always recommend to people are William Finn's A NEW BRAIN and the more recent GREY GARDENS by Michael Korie and Scott Frankel. I have the first (of two) cast albums of that one and love it. I always enjoy listening to A NEW BRAIN; a fascinating piece performed by a stellar cast.
