Not that anyone cares, but:

With all this social distancing time, we’re endeavoring to listen to all the records we own. Here’s a thread I’ll keep updating with some thoughts about the ones we’ve been through:

1. @relientK “All Work and No Playlist” - A fan curated greatest hits - reminded me how fantastic the song “I so hate consequences” is. Still disappointed no songs from Air For Free made it.

2. @DollyParton “Jolene” - a masterpiece. Dolly flexes in her original of I Will Always Love You.

3. @NEEDTOBREATHE “Acoustic Live Vol 1.” Two of the greatest cover medleys of all time. Also an excellent guest feature. A fav concert memory.

4. @JOHNNYSWIM “Georgica Pond” - one of the most complete records of all time. Every song is moving. I love it.

5. @billyjoel “Greatest Hits Volume 1 & 2” Nothing to say other than Billy Joel has the deepest repertoire of hits of nearly anyone I can think of. Also a lot more choral/vocal backing features than I remembered

6. Heart - “Greatest hits/Live” - I texted @jwillangley to tell him that we’ve been underrating Heart as a rock and roll band. The last two songs are fantastic.

7. Eagles - “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975” - One of the best selling albums ever. Desperado is the best song.

8. @drewholcomb - “Dragons” - the “A” side of this record is nothing but hits in a row. Super strong.

9. @ChrisStapleton “From A Room Vol 1” Either Way is really stirring. Stapleton is such a great blend of Americana and Country. Can’t wait to see him in concert one day

10. @Weezer Blue Album - like the first time you watch Inception, you wish you could go back and see it again. I wish I were aline in 1994 when themis released.

11. John Denver’s Greatest Hits - everybody knows about Country Roads, but Denver’s voice takes you to a different time & place. Leaving on a Jet Plane

12. @NEEDTOBREATHE Live at the woods - the renditions of Wasteland & Difference Maker are moving. Such strong vocal harmonies

13. @JohnMayer trio- Try! I remember pirating “Good Love is on the way” on Limewire. I Got A Woman is a classic.

14. @citizenstheband - Fear - first song sounds like the climax of a video game soundtrack. Probably their most melodramatic album, but Past is my fav song.

15. @judahandthelion - Pep Talks - the album of an optimist who gets punched in the throat by an existential life crisis. 10/10.

16. @Alabama_Shakes - Boys & Girls - this would be most bands’ best album - this is their first. Every song is strong musically and lyrically. Hard to believe they stepped up from there.

17. 38 Special - Special Forces - Caught Up in You is good. The rest - meh

18. @ColonyHouse - Leave What’s Lost Behind - Why Even Try slaps.

19. @MagnoliaRecord - Moon River Sessions - an awesome reminder of one of my favorite music festivals.

20. @pennyandsparrow - Wendigo - I love Kin. Great album

21. @relientK - The Anatomy of Tongue in Cheek - In 8th grade, we all got to play a song in englash class that had impacted us. I had this CD & played ‘Those Words Are Not Enough.’

22. @JohnMayer - Heavier Things - everyone remembers ‘Daughters,’ but Bigger Than my Body is the banger

23. @thelumineers - The Lumineers - They’ve had two albums since then, but this is still their best. One of my favorite concerts.

24. @MumfordAndSons - Babel - One of my favorite albums. Their ‘Boxer’ cover on the deluxe version is SO good.

25. Cream - Heavy Cream. Crossroads slaps.

26. @maroon5 - Songs About Jane - the best debut album by any band ever. Sorry to GnR and the Beastie Boys, who were also in consideration. Sunday morning and Shiver are my favs

27. Doobie Brothers - Best of the Doobies - as good as it gets when it comes to nostalgia rock. Also provided the best DC Talk sample ever.

28, RHCP - Stadium Arcadium - SUCH a long album - 4 LP's. Dani California is just as much a banger today as it ever was.

29. Taylor Swift - Fearless Deluxe Edition - While 'Red' is probably TSwizzle's magnum opus, Fearless is a close second. This album also brings back memories of the times when $60 was a lot for a concert ticket.

30. @relientK - Forget and Not Slow Down - my second favorite album, climbing from 4th to 2nd thanks to @connermlewis' influence. Sahara slaps.

31. @pennyandsparrow - Let a Lover Drown You - Gold is really beautiful. Some of the best intentional listening music you can find, if that makes sense

32. @pennyandsparrow - Finch - Don't Wanna Live Without Ya is my favorite, with Eloise a close second. I was really looking forward to this concert - curse thee, COVID-19

33. Jerry Lee Lewis - The Best of - Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire, I felt weird listening to this since he married his 14 year old cousin.

34. @NEEDTOBREATHE - The Outsiders - TONS of hits that have lasted 10+ years. What a great album.

35. @Stryper - In God We Trust - Stryper is a Christian metal band. They pioneered any kind of quality Christian music. Still, listening today kind of sounds like a Christian-themed Crusin' USA soundtrack.

36. @Lecrae - Anomaly - I loved this album. Nuthin' and Fear are so good. Quarantine hits me like this lyric: "Time is takin it's toll - 45 on the back of the jersey upon your soul"

37. @Lorde - Pure Heroine - One of my favorite albums - Tennis Court, Team, and Royals are all bops. V Catchy

38. Bob Seger - Nine Tonight - this is a live album recorded in detroit, I think, in 1986. You can tell it was a PARTY. Night Moves, Against the Wind, and We've Got Tonight are FOREVER jams.

39. @kingskworld - Beyond Control - So much of the depth of this record got overlooked cause of that one song with the F word - Enchanted/Most of it/Dust are all REALLY beautiful

40. @kingskworld - The Beauty Between - Chad really stretches his creativity on this record - Safe Retreat is especially moving, and Playing With Fire is always convicting. "From my mother's womb, I'm a whitewashed tomb"

41. @kingskworld - Becoming Who We Are - A blend of originals and hymn rewrites, this album ends with THE BEST SONG of all time, Defender. "Who is a rock but our God?"

42. @kingskworld - Zeal - I lose my voice every time I get to the end of "The Rush pt. 3" - " On to the dawn forever free! Where the heavens bend and bleed, where the saints and angels sing 'On to the throne of the king of all kings!'"

43. Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever - One of my greatest regrets is not seeing Tom Petty before he passed. This was the first CD I ever owned, and I loved it from "Free Fallin" to "Zombie Zoo." An absolute classic, and I'm so glad they repressed it.
