From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Music is a major part of my life and I want to really create a page dedicated to explaining my favorite music, if not for the curiosity of others than simply for my own personal categorization purposes.

I consider myself to have fairly diverse taste in music. I do not like all music, but I do enjoy something from just about every genre. However, most of my favorite music falls into the following categories: indie rock/indie pop, alternative rock, art rock/art pop, post-punk, folk rock, new wave, synthpop, electro-industrial, various forms of electronic dance music (from early techno and house to breakbeat to UK garage), some hip hop music, some hard rock, and some classical music and modern classical. Most of my music is more recent - the 2000s are by far my favorite decade for music.

Favorite albums

[edit]

I've decided to categorize my favorite music by album instead of by band, since even great bands can release mediocre albums, and mediocre bands can release great albums. This list includes full-length original albums and EPs.
