I saw someone with a list of “1001 albums you need to listen to before you die!!!” Now I am not crazy enough to think that you need to listen to these 136 albums before you die, but it was something to do during my down time at work and in the middle of class. So here it is, my favorite 136 albums. The (*) ones are the next level of favorite, like super favorites. If you ever want to ask questions about any of these bands I love talking about useless crap. P.S. I don’t agree with all of these artists ideologically. I thought about getting links to all these but forget that crap...
Enjoy!
