ALPHABETROCK 2010

It is June now - and in this month I like to summarize my music taste. That's fine. On Facebook last year I wrote an astoundingly lengthy series of notes entitled "The 172 Albums That Make Up My Brain at 22" which stretched from June to November and was waffly. This year I have removed all opinion from the thing and so it sits as a list of ESSENTIAL ALBUMS by ESSENTIAL BANDS. Surf through it - click on the links - give things you've never heard a listen AND GOOD LORD RECOMMEND ME STUFF in the same manner seen below. It's the best thing you can give another human being aside FROM A BITE ON THE FACE.
