I am a sucker for some Facebook lists. Top Ten lists in the High Fidelity vein kind of lists. I was tagged last night by people doing two separate lists that I couldn’t pass by: Top Ten songs I can’t Live Without, and Top Fifteen Albums.
Since I wasted so much time doing them last night, I thought i would put them over here and elaborate on my love for them. Of course, as soon as I finished, I realized i had left off some other albums that I adore, but I still love these.
