The List

Recently I've had quite a few friends and acquaintances take recommendations off of me and plead that I keep a list somewhere. I've always wanted to start a music blog anyway, so here we are. The topic came up today between a friend and myself about which albums are flawless without a single track dragging them down. I scoured my library and have found 45 such suitable albums, this list is in no way concrete and there may be more to come. What is for sure, however, is that I now have a basis for 45 solid album reviews. Expect at least one a week and we'll see where we go from there. Without further adieu, here is the list.

Please keep in mind at all times that these are merely matters of opinion, often skewed by personal experience and sentimental value. This is in no way a definitive list, I am not Piero Scaruffi, simply a student with a lot of time on my hands.
