cool stuff
by 
LedZep 
A snapshot of my favorite music. Not to be taken too seriously, since reducing someone's taste to just 100 entries is a hopeless oversimplification. I'm slowly adding notes for each entry: preferred versions (with runtime and essential bonus tracks), genre/style/mood blurbs and a few lines which are mostly lyrics, but sometimes it's vinyl sleeve excerpts, interview segments, or whatever else I dug up. Lyrics usually aren't my main focus, but it's nice for adding context and a bit of character to the chart.
* my English translations of regional texts are usually imperfect (I'm not a poet nor a translator, unfortunately)

The sweet spot between noise, madness, punk and his later balladry
In heaven his throne is made of gold
The ark of his testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold
Down here it's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And god is never far away [First added to this chart: 09/13/2020]

148:47 - A collection of all 4 studio albums, but the best one is Treći Svijet if you dislike comps like this
A bunch of poor bohemians interested in ethnology and ganja playing Yugoslavian new wave music
U čekaonu na prvom peronu
Gdje crni đav'o toči prvi konjak
Iznad mračnih podnatrulih lica
Kroz prozor prhne črna tica
I veli tada, veli grdi črni stvor:
Nevermore
In a waiting room on the platform one
Where the black devil pours his first cognac
Above the dark, worn-down faces
Through the window darts a black bird
And then it says, that vile black creature it says:
Nevermore [First added to this chart: 10/03/2021]

Kalevala music
A bird flew out of Lapland
An eagle from the Northeast
One wing ruffled the water
And the other swept the sky [First added to this chart: 09/13/2020]
