My 25 Favourite Albums

As many of you know I don't spend ALL of my time watching films. Whether I am at home or out and about I am usually listening to music, and make my choices based on a specific album I feel like. I respect artists not by their collection of hit singles, but their ability to put together an album. One that offers rewarding songs from beginning to end, that take a listener on an evolving journey. Albums reveal so much about an artist at the time of release; their creative influences and collaborative evidence of the band's experimentation and future direction with sound.
