Inspired by Misha, I am going to do lists of my 50 favorite albums, books, and movies. Today? Albums! This was a fun list to put together. Apparently my tastes haven't really matured since I was 15 - but hey! I'm okay with that! Some of these are embarrassing to put down, but they are all so dear to me for so many different reasons. Anyone who reads this little blog should share their lists. I'd love to see what other people read/watch/listen to with all their hearts.
This list reflects what I think my 50 favorite albums are today (in no particular order). Tomorrow? Who knows!

This is so cool, Caitlin!
Aren't they fun to do??
I know what you mean about tastes not changing--half the stuff on there I've been listening to since Jr. High and High School. But those are the albums that define us most and that we have the most powerful connection to.
Reminds me of watching the Cure videos in your old basement....
