My History in Music
by dihansse

This is a top 100 chart of my personal musical history via albums in which I try to stick to the adagio of one album per artist. Next to a number of classics I have tried to include some hidden treasures but also some guilty pleasures to which I still stick. This means that I had to leave out some artists that I really appreciate but didn't make this overall top 100: Sorry Rolling Stones (the Beatles were better), sorry Bruce, sorry Jimi, sorry the Who, sorry ELO, sorry the Police and sorry many, many others (but you'll find them in my Decades lists).

I also tried to stick to regular albums but sometimes live albums or eaven Greatest Hits couldn't be avoided. By the way, in my custom charts I also added an alternative top chart which takes a more mathematical view on my personal taste meaning that it is the result of scoring my favorite albums and in this way of course doesn't stick to the one album by artist rule, which means several (more than 2) albums by Beatles, Sebadoh, Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, etc.

The Best Of Paolo Conte
Compilation

Paolo Conte

Paolo Conte is an Italian Lawyer who started playing a fusion between jazz, chanson and rock at a fairly late stage, and he is very good. His voice and songs are maybe a bit like Tom Waits but his music definitely stands on its song. The singing and the piano in "Max" are absolutely gorgeous.
