cool stuff by 
LedZep 
A snapshot of my favourite music. Not to be taken too seriously, trying to capture someone's musical taste with a chart of 100 entries is a futile attempt. I'm slowly adding comments that consist of the preferred version with runtime and noteworthy bonus songs, loose genre/style descriptors, and a few lines that are mostly lyrics. Or, in the case of instrumental albums, it's vinyl sleeve quotes, interview segments, or whatever else I managed to dig up. Lyrics usually aren't the most important thing to me, but it's a nice touch, imo.

Goth
Kiss me goodbye, bow your head, and join with me
And face pushed deep, reflections meet
The strangest twist upon your lips
And disappear, the ripples clear
And laughing break against your feet
And laughing break the mirror sweet
So we shall be together [First added to this chart: 09/13/2020]

Progressive rock, art rock, some jazz as well
The yellow jester does not play
But gently pulls the strings
And smiles as the puppets dance
In the court of the crimson king [First added to this chart: 09/13/2020]

Epic (in scale, not necessarily sound) prog
In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking
Saying that she'd take the blame for the crucifixion of her own domain [First added to this chart: 09/18/2020]

Post-punk, goth rock, coldwave
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside [First added to this chart: 09/13/2020]
