Awe man stir my Memory banks I forgot a lot of great ones on this list. I remember loving The Miracles (Smokey Robinson and the Miracles), The Supremes, The Temptations so some singles some album mixes. Some music you associate with "personal times and experiences" so that can jade your "affection". Beach boys made some great music. I use to dig Uriah Deep-Demons and Wizards.

I tend to have a favorite album from various periods of my life.

00's - Lateralus
10's - Koi No Yokan (Deftones)

A few more thrown in there, but that's a pretty good representation of who I was at those stages.
 
Isn't "albums" passe' now-since technically few sale actual albums now. Got to give them a new name-not "recordings or CD"-so lets have a New Name for Album Contest. I've got an old box filled with cassettes (since after my huge album collection burned up that ended album collecting)-all pretty much useless since I don't have any player (I guess I could use the tape to build a raft). Anyways albums don't cut it and hereby ban (let it be written let it be done) the term from DW till we can come up with a better term. However I guess some music was on albums-so to be historically accurate they are grandfathered in to keep the name-but anything digital and not on an album has to have a new name. Any law breakers will reap my wrath-I'm retired so got plenty of time to travel and just hang out with you till you submit before you lose your chips. Yeah torture can be insidious.

We're good with "album" for now, I think.
