This is another ongoing post. Might take a few weeks to be finished.
README
Listening to albums is something I used to love to do. Then, about fifteen / twenty years ago no one had time for that anymore. It was all about tracks. Well, that’s another thing (along with The Internet) that we made a mistake about. Here are some albums that you should sit down and listen to. Preferably with a book (set volume to low).
Two things to note. All of the albums below, I have listened to fully. As you know, sometimes a band, or artist, will have one great song. So you buy the album and it turns out: you got conned! Sucker!
Not here, friend. Another thing, I insist on melodies. Those experimental noisescape monstrosities are not here.
This is also not a 10 20 50 best album of YYYY things. It’ll probably end up at a maximum of ten (maybe less). Albums are ordered alphabetically by Artist.
