a list of some of my favorite albums in alphabetical order by title. i’m sure this list will grow and change over time, and that’s cool. music favorites are based on more than just performance and/or quality. emotional value carries a lot of weight here. where i was in life when I experienced particular music? what was happening in my relationships with other people and myself? what was the state of my system at the time? did I discover the music on my own or did someone else introduce it to me? …and many other personal factors. sometimes the emotional baggage outweighs sound and performance and sometimes the art creates its own emotional home in my soul. ahh…i love this stuff.

some of my absolute favorite albums are highlighted, as are favorite artists. again, in alpha order and not by rank.
