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)

Dylan's all-star carnival
I leaned my back up against some oak
Thinkin' it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke [First added to this chart: 07/24/2024]

Is it a lizard made of milk or are they milking a lizard?
You crept up like a disease
Looking like a girl only trying to be saved
Your heart was trying to bleed
And you're taking the right road if you're talking to me [First added to this chart: 09/13/2020]
