Here is my list of top albums of the year. As you’ll see, or already know, my music taste is pretty eclectic. Music is music. I don’t think it should be categorized, or defined by subculture. I don’t think you should limit yourself to a genre that you think defines you. Listen and learn. I didn’t include any of the Beatles remasters for obvious reasons, but Abbey Road is my all time favourite album :) Alright here’s the list. Rated on how it dominated my listening schedule, how often I want to listen to it in the future, how it made me feel when I first heard it, and how much it renewed my faith in today’s music scene:
