+ [ Love all or most of their albums ]


* [ Compilation album, wouldn't normally count it, but I own a copy and love it, so...]


I'm probably forgetting a bunch, but for now that's the jist of it. Sure, most of these albums are recent, and almost none of them are underground. I am sure if I was alive in the 60's etc I'd have more classics in my list. Though in my opinion, all the records above are classics.


Thanks for reading!
