I was participating briefly in the twitter trending topic of #FAVORITEALBUMS and I realized there were way too many records for me to list on twitter plus I realized I also like a lot of single songs by artists so I might as well make a list of the best of the best. If this was one of those hypothetical “You’re on a deserted island and you can only bring 5 records” questions this is a mix of the music I would take with me and probably be pretty happy listening to for the rest of my life. This is a few and NOT IN ORDER> but if you like a wide range of music then check this shit out you might find something new. Also I could have made a spotify playlist but I know that doesn’t encourage people to buy music so instead you can go on itunes and get it if you like it since that is WAY more artist friendly.
