i like lists. which is probably why i like vh1 so much. they like to list things. it's very diverting.

anyway, here's a new list for y'all. in a previous installment, i brought you my favorite individual songs. now, my favorite albums - those i tend to listen to in their entirety.

again, i'm too lazy to provide any order outside of alphabetical (by performer, multiple titles listed by release date):
1. Ryan Adams - Gold
2. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
3. Tori Amos - Under the Pink
4. Tori Amos - The Beekeeper
5. Bad Religion - Recipe for Hate
6. Belle & Sebastian - Tiger Milk
7. Christian Kiefer - Medicine Show
8. Counting Crows - August and Everything After
9. Ani DiFranco - Dilate
10. Ani DiFranco - Living in Clip (both discs)
11. Ani DiFranco - Little Plastic Castles
12. The Dwarves - The Dwarves Are Young And Good Looking
13. Janis Joplin - 18 Essential Songs
14. Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose
15. Don McLean - American Pie
16. Tift Merritt - Tambourine
17. Nirvana - In Utero
18. Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
19. Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
20. Liz Phair - Juvenilia
21. Rasputina - How We Quit the Forest
22. Sandman - The Long Walk Home
23. Sandman & Jen Grady - Love's Hangover Sale Part 2
24. The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
25. Nina Simone - The Blues
26. Subincision - Subincision
27. Suicide Machines - Destruction by Definition
28. Ween - The Mollusk
29. Ween - Quebec
30. Weezer - Pinkerton

as i'm looking at this, i know it's fairly incomplete. i've lost a lot of albums over the years. so these are the ones i have, or can remember having and listening to repeatedly.
