Chronos

Crimso's final album blows away their much-vaunted 80s output, in my humble opinion. Hot take? Not sure. In any event, I've loved this album since its release in 2003 and deem it one of the strongest in their entire oeuvre.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard -- The Silver Cord (2023)

Magma -- Šlaǧ Tanƶ (2015)

Nice post, bluefox. I have a very similar sentiment. I have memories of my dad (RIP) working in the gas station / repair shop he owned with this man in the background. His music makes me remember warm summer days in the 70s without a care in the world.

Thin Lizzy -- Massacre

Asia -- Finger on the Trigger

Within Temptation -- Faster

No. A good old-fashioned spreadsheet.

500 period. But you got me wondering. I went back, and if I've counted correctly, 57 of those 500 were first listens. A good chunk of those first listens were from when I went exploring the entirety of the KISS catalog.

The Call -- Reconciled (1986) Trivia: This was the 500th different album I've played so far this calendar year.
