Ah music~

This is a topic where you can post one album of no more than 80 minutes in length. When I have deemed a sufficient number of albums have been nominated, I will listen to them all and rank them in a separate topic. As I�m not very good at articulating musical ideas, I will endeavor to provide brief thoughts and a ranking of my top three songs from the album. Don�t expect a thesis statement, but you�ll at least get a rundown of what I thought.

For now, I won�t describe things I tend to like or dislike in music. If you know me, you probably have some idea, but I�m perfectly happy to be surprised by things. I have a very open mind for all kinds of weird nonsense, so don�t be afraid to be bold with your choice! I will say that I�m not somebody that tends to pick up on lyrics when I listen to songs, so maybe hold off on giving me some lyric-heavy songs?

Also, no Greatest Hits compilations. That�s cheating!

Uh I think that�s everything but I�m probably forgetting stuff.

Oh right � please make sure your album of choice is on YouTube or, failing that, something like Bandcamp. I don�t have access to Spotify or other streaming sites.

Have fun, be groovy, etc.

EDIT: Since people who know me might have an unfair advantage, here's the playlist I made for the last "non-vgm" guessing game on Discord. I really like all of these songs. Whether I'd like the albums they're on...that might be for you to decide!

Also just for clarification, since a few folks have said this to me:

I'm not inherently opposed to lyrics in music. You are more than welcome to give me songs with lyrics. I just don't focus on them too much, especially on a first listen. You don't have to withhold lyrics based on that.
