Listmania Revisted

Hi guys…  Having a cold the last couple weeks limited some of my regular day activities, but made rooms for other things which isn’t always a bad thing.  Jim, Ian, and Darcy convinced me and Jeff to start playing World of Warcraft for example (though they did NOT convince us to watch “American Pie”!  Never!)  I also got a chance to catch up on listening to great music, something I don’t do as much as I did when I was younger, for various reasons (I barely used my car here in
Charlottetown this winter and my car is where I listen to music the most!).  So during my down-time at home I had a chance to pop on some music and just relax.  This prompted me to make another list (a la our Amazon Listmania) of my favorite music of all time (in no particular order).  Some are old sentimental favorites, and a few others are newer bands.  I included a “key album”, which may not necessarily be the best album, but maybe important in some way to me. I also ask that if you would like to make a short list of your own, just post it on the comments and share it with my loyal readers!  Do you want me to share the list with you?  OK!

Now I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right:  “Lindsay, why are there some great bands missing… like the Rolling Stones.  Surely you like them!”  Well, that’s true.  I guess they should be on there too.  Or “Badmotorfinger?  Are you kidding, Superunknown was WAYYY better!”  Debatable, but could well be true.  I guess my list is not complete, but at 35 and counting, I gotta stop somewhere… 

 

A #1 fav:  Pavement

Though these guys are a sentimental pick that didn’t make the list:
