My favorite albums ever made.
Over many years, I have carefully kept track of my favorite albums, based on a number of criteria. The most important factors are varied; one album might be a powerhouse of melody and harmonies, another may be a masterpiece of atmospheric soundscapes. However, the true reasons I connect with music are often more ephemeral, and there are a fair number of genres present here. In any case, I've included some pertinent info on each album on this list that could help you decide if you'd like to try anything here.
This list was taken from the old Wavy Air Blog I used to run, with some small alterations.
Hope you find something that's appealing!
