My top albums (and a few artists, too)

[katashi]

About six months ago, I was asked if I could compile a list of my favorite albums/artists/songs. I quickly agreed and then soon realized just what I was getting myself into. I have yet to tackle the challenge of a list of songs, but for now, I present to you a list of 32 albums--in a loosely descending order. In the event that you should like to stream any of these online, I recommend Deezer, Last.fm and imeem.
