I am starting to listen to church talks at work and I need more good talks to listen to. I have compiled a list of some of my favorites below. Anyone else have any favorites they would like to share?

Most of these were BYU Devotional Addresses:

Thomas S. Monson:
Finding Joy in the Journey

Gordon B. Hinckley:
This I Believe
We Walk by Faith

Neal A. Maxwell:
Grounded, Rooted, Established, and Settled
True Believers in Christ
The Inexhaustible Gospel
Becometh as a Child

Faust:
It Can't Happen to Me

Bruce C. Hafen:
A Disciple's Journey

Dallin H. Oaks:
Good, Better, Best

Jeffrey R. Holland:
Remember Lot's Wife
A Robe, a Ring, and a Fatted Calf
Prophets in the Land Again
A Prayer for the Children

Henry B. Eyring:
A Law of Increasing Returns
Waiting Upon the Lord
A Child and a Disciple

Bednar:
In the Strength of the Lord

Richard G. Scott:
Finding Happiness
Finding the Way Back
Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge

Jon M. Huntsman, Sr:
God Did Not Put us Here to Fail

Bruce R. McConkie
The Power of Gethsemane

Truman G. Madsen
The Joy of the Lord is Your Strength
The Highest in Us
Foundations of Temple Worship

F. Burton Howard
Eternal Marriage

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Continue in Patience

Not to detract from any of the others, yet, I must say every talk President Hinckley ever gave was another favorite for me. I love that man. My life has been richly blessed by him.

I was personally acquainted with President McKay, and I thought His talks were the best. When President Kimball came on the scene I also visited with Him a few times and decided he was my favorite. Then when President Hinckley came on the scene He blew me out of the water. I have His photo on the wall, and that's where it will stay. He said so many things that I loved I could never list them all. At one of His last Priesthood Meeting talks he said one I will always remember. "If the income of the Church decreases, we will decrease the expenditures" What a novel idea, too bad nobody in DC ever thought of that.

That's a great list. I love anything by Elder Busche.

Sunday Will Come and Come What May and Love It by Joseph B Wirthlin

Safety for the Soul by Jeffrey R Holland

Consecrate Thy Performance by Neal A Maxwell

and, of course, the ever quintessential Beware of Pride by Ezra Taft Benson

Those are all some of my favorites.

Some of these aren't available in audio format, but wanted to list them anyway. Some of these titles aren't completely accurate, but you should find them with the info. I know I'll forget many, this is off the top of my head

Here is one that I read last night. Elder Bednar ties together some things we learn in the temple with how we should pray in a way I had never considered before.

Pray Always -- David Bednar
