Here's a list of albums I like. When I listen to music it goes directly from my ears to my subconcious. I don't really listen to the lyrics, but I like how the feelings of the songs affect my own. Genres include alt-rock, dance, pop ballads, and rap. I'm not claiming to be a connoisseur of niche music, lots of this is popular and award-winning.
