[funeralportrait91]

does it have to be in order? cuz either way I couldn't possibly pick out 25 best albums. It all depends on what music I feel like listening to at the time, whether it's a consistent album, how much I prefer it to other albums (which differs a lot). that and 25 is a very large number of albums to choose between.

[Wander]

I could choose 25 albums, which I'd take with me right now if I travelled abroad or something, but I've come to the conclusion that I just can't choose 25 favourite albums. It just doesn't work like that. (I couldn't choose 1, 3, 5, 10, 50, 100 or 1000 favourite albums any easier either.)
