he who has eyes...

In general, this is a list of my go-to albums — the ones to which I most often turn when I want to get lost in something. Since I’m often in different moods when listening to music, there are different genres represented here that give a good feel of my overall musical tastes. Also because of that, there are albums on here that are probably worse than others in a different genre or with a different musical feel, but that doesn’t stop them being on my “favorite albums” list, now does it? Sure, London Calling is a better album than almost anything on here. But is it a “favorite”? Nah…
