five stars

[pennamesaredead]

I am going through my collection of music to figure out if there is anything I can get rid of to free up some space and maybe put towards getting something new. I will update this journal over time as I progress through everything. I realize I could have done this without a post here but I thought it might be fun to see if anyone enjoys checking it out. Anything that gets five stars is a definite keeper and if I don't already then I hope I am able to listen to it enough to know it front to back. Four Stars will also be definite keepers that will stay in somewhat regular rotation as much as possible. Three stars will be albums that I'll probably hang on to and were good enough that I will continue to listen to sometimes. Two stars will be albums that might have been headed in a good direction but didn't quite go the distance, I'll most likely be getting rid of these. One star obviously was a horrible misjudgment on my part on something that I thought could be decent but wasn't, or something that in younger years I enjoyed but no longer find interesting to listen to. I'll definitely be getting rid of these ones. If anyone actually reads this, I know not everyone will agree with everything but it's purely personal taste/preference. Hope you can enjoy this.
