What I did is I just printed out a list of all the albums I have on the server (which is basically all the music that I have) and went through it, highlighting the ones that I really, really like. I actually marked 33, and had to nix 3 off the list. Maybe if I decide to make a Top 100, you’ll find out what those were.
You will note that these ARE in a particular order, and that order is “alphabetical.” You will also notice that this list has a lot of records on it that came out in the last 3-5 years. I thought this was fine, becuase if you want to know about my “current musical sensibility,” it’s going to be reflected in what I’m listening to the most right now… On with the show, this is it.

Also posted in the forum. I was gonna put in Amazon links for all of these, but that seems like some unpaid promotion for Amazon. And of course, you are perfectly capable of a copy/paste.
Have a good Friday…
