VasileTurcut 
This list is not based on the albums with better productions or better reviews. It is a list with the albums that I have heard and that I liked the most at a specific moment or that have produced a good feeling in me. The album scores are based on how much I enjoyed that album. I do not expect to receive good or bad reviews, but I would like to receive recommendations based on my tastes.
