My Favorite Albums

Some days, when I get really bored, I like to go to Google, type in the names of a few bands I like, and see what pages I get back. Often, I end up checking out some of the bands I see mentioned by people who have homepages not unlike mine with lists of their favorite artists and albums.

I guess, then, as a service to people like me, and as a simple description of my favorite albums, here goes a list of albums and EPs that I own which I really enjoy. Mind you, I'm sure this list might change from time to time, and I haven't listed every single album I own that's got songs on it that I like. Further, there are some bands whose albums I've not yet purchased, but whose songs I know pretty well which receive no credit at all. Whatever. It's just music.

The albums are listed alphabetically by artist within each column.

These are my favorites. I would most likely nearly starve myself rather than sell these albums. Then again, I'm pretty skinny right now, anyway.

Pretty Darn Good Albums

These albums are really very swell, though I'm not as enamored with them as the ones in the "Albums I Really Like" column. I'd probably cry if I were without most of these, and then write some poetry about how much I miss them in my black and white speckled composition notebook.

If you're really curious, there's also a list of music on Audioscrobbler, which records what I listen to most on my computer.
