my GAWD.

this is something i seriously need to do as well. 70 GB of music, and some artists that fall under the category of "why the HELL did i get this?" that need to be searched out and deleted.

I thought "oh hey, maybe I'll scroll through this and point out what I've heard." And then I thought "puppy it."

So much of the music here is stuff I used to like and I haven't heard in ages, like The Wombats (let's dance to Joy Division, and celebrate the irony or something) and a lot I used to hear on the radio like OK Go and stuff.

Yeah, that would be a little strange. It's a good idea, though, and it would give me a good idea on what to delete. I have a lot of stuff from my boyfriend's computer I've never listened to, stuff I haven't hear in ages, and I know I have 7 hours of lute music in there somewhere.

EDIT: Looking through your list, HB. Some really good stuff. If you like Yes, you should find their album The Ladder. It's amazing.

I did a John Dowland piece once when I was taking voice lessons, and I absolutely loved it. So I looked up more John Dowland when I was at University. They have a media library, and for some music they'll let you take it home for awhile. So I put some of his lute pieces on my computer. They're very relaxing, and somewhat melancholy.

So is this just for full albums, or for everything?

Oh, and do radio dramas count? I have a couple of those.

Ah, just for a little bit more depth, I'm gonna underline all the albums I would want to listen to again (if only to get a better impression of the album, doesn't mean I like the music. Gosh.)

Actually in fact

Underlined: Would listen to again

Bold + underlined: Would listen to again (because I enjoyed it)

The rest of them will just be everything else, with no strong feelings one way or the others (as with Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain) or because I enjoyed it but it's not really interesting enough to me to warrant listening to the full album again (as with Andrew W.K. - I Get Wet)

Actually lol puppy it, I haven't even finished yet. Don't want to manage code as well as adding new albums ever time I update it.

Had a look. I'm on my 245th album just now.

Bands I still need to listen to (at least one) albums from:

Altar of Plagues

Birds From The Abyss

Bleu

Brian Eno

Buffalo Springfield

Burzum

Cathedral

Clannad

Data Dog

Electric Wizard

Eluvium

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Enter Shikari

Escala

puppy, I'm a Ghost
