Everyone every now and then (at least, everyone with Facebook) manages to get stuck into a meme, filtering round a group of your friends and occasionally it comes over with its big tits and sits on your lap, and asks you to fill it out. People seem to be on a favourite albums bandwagon lately, and I thought I’d grab my knapsack and hitch myself a ride.
I used to make favourite album lists, but recently I’ve found narrowing down the amount to anything can get really frustrating, often omiting things for the wrong reasons. So today I sat down and had a good plow through my music collection, and came up with a shortlist, a list of every album that has meant something special to me. It’s impossible to include everything you like, I for one found myself often wanting to include many artists but not really liking an entire album by someone who might make a favourite artists list, however I feel like I have a good list of albums, I counted them up when I’d finished and wound up with exactly 100.
So now I put it on YOU, by reading this post it means you can ask me to review one of the albums on the list. You’re guaranteed to get a positive review!
