| My Favorite Albums, d (as of 2-20-09)
Waaaay back in April of '07, I created my first list on Sputnikmusic: a list of my ten favorite albums at the time (the list still exists, if you're curious...). At the time, I had 80 or so full albums in my possession and what I thought was a very broad range of musical interests. Now, nearly two years and 5x more albums, I can see how far I've come since then (and how little I actually knew)...hence this list. 20 albums this time, generally in order with favorite songs from each and the top 10 from the old list for reference. | | 1 |  | Pink Floyd

02.20.09 | Bubbling at #21 is 'By The Way' by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Obviously, this is an ever-changing list. As I discover new music and grow as a person, my preferences change (for example, 'Mezmerize' was number one on the first list but doesn't even make an appearance on here). Heck, even day to day my love for albums can change. But I think it's pretty solid, in this order, to show what my favorite albums are. | BallsToTheWall
02.20.09 | So much win | The Computer
02.21.09 | 1 is my favorite album as well. | Tits McGee
02.21.09 | cool list | Captain North
02.21.09 | Odd how your previous all time fav isn't even on the list anymore. | natey
02.21.09 | not really, I can easily see how Mezmerize could be forgotten. | Mendigo
02.21.09 | Wish You Were Here is my favorite as well.
however, while there's a lot of stuff here I don't know, I wouldn't put any of the others I know in my list. they're good though (except probably for Metropolis).
and hell, King Crimson have lots of better albums, I don't see why it's always this one that gets all the love. | TheNewBlack
02.25.09 | #3 is in my top three as well. I Am Hollywood owns. | Masochist
02.25.09 | That it is, TNB. For a little while, it really was my favorite album, but coming in third out of 380 ain't bad. Can't wait for their new one!
'Mezmerize' is probably in the top 25, along with 'By The Way' and a few others that were on the list before but not now. It was amazing when it came out, but I think I played it too much back then, and now I hardly listen to it anymore.
And ITCOTCK gets my love because its the first (and so far only) album by them I've listened to, and it's one of the best things I've heard in music. Even if I listened to a different album (perhaps 'Red'), and thought it was better, it'd probably take a very long time for it to usurp "...Crimson King" as my favorite. |
