In a world where taste changes all the time, even day to day, I think it’s pretty cool to document the current favorites every now and then. Looking back at these old favorites can make us see the growth we have had as people. Another upside to these records is we might rediscover some gems that we might have forgotten about.
I am someone who loves to share and exchange music. I love discovering new artists and seeing who my friends like to listen to. Everyone’s music taste is different, I would find it difficult to believe that there could be two people with the exact same taste.
I love to expose people to new music and to my favorites and so I have made a playlist of my current favorite songs. I have to say there is some variety and I like to think that my music is fairly well-rounded but that is up to my readers to decide. Some of these songs have explicit content, so fair warning to everyone.
