My last few posts have been music oriented and I have no intention of breaking that pattern with this one. Since I got my new Zune and finished ripping, downloading, and retagging my entire music collection, I decided to see if there were any essential albums I was missing out on. I took a look at Pitchfork's list of top 100 albums from the 1990s, and downloaded the top 50. Pitchfork kind of has a reputation of being a little pretentious at times, so I expected that there would be a lot of albums I had never heard of before, but to my surprise there were a few that I had already owned. Go me.

I spent yesterday's Random Crossfade Playback Wednesday listening to everything at once, just so I could get a general idea of what I was getting myself into. As expected, it ranged from pretty okay to pretty bizarre. I intend to spend the next few weeks listening to every album from beginning to end, deleting those I don't care for, and eventually buying those that deserve to stay in my collection. Maybe in the next few months I will tackle the remaining 50 albums from the list.
