My top 100 bands and artists of all time
This might be my last update for this list, some bands and artists that I discovered the last few years are now here.
I have far over 1000 albums that I listen to (regularly or at least from time to time once in weeks or months) and I don't see the need to discover much more (maybe only from the top 5). However, from the over 500 artists I like / love these are my most important 100 ones. |
