Please thoughtfully read this post before replying.
Ok, first off this is going to be impossible to get just right, so take this difficult exercise as sort of an art project without any need to achieve any ridiculous notion of perfection. Please pick an "album" of songs that represent what you love musically - say between 6 to 15 or so - think traditional album sizes. It will be an (obviously) incomplete snapshot of your musical tastes while still hitting some of the highlights of the songs and/or artists that move you. This is just a reflection of the very core of your love of music. What rhythms and frequencies drive the beat of your heart? Also please limit things to one song per artist.
And as the second part of this challenge, try to pick songs that you love that are also a reflection of your life in its totality.
So this is ultimately an intersection of your love for music combined with an expression of you as a person at this stage. I thought it would be a fun way to get to know each other for those who are up for such a herculean ask and who consider music to be fundamental to who they are. This is a story of both your love of music AND your life. It's a layered, intricate rug we are weaving here. So please do it with some real thought if you are to participate. Can you feel the beat I'm laying down? (If you reply quickly, you are not in the spirit of this thread. I'll bump it if necessary. No hurry.) And you don't have to explain your choices. Leave it as sort of an interpretive thing - a piece of art on its own merits.Think of this as the concept album of your life that is meant to be listened to as a whole and not a selection of individual unrelated songs. (And for those who respond, I'll try to fully listen to as many of your personal concept albums as possible as time allows.) And if you want to go for bonus points, try to order them meaningfully. I certainly won't say that means chronologically necessarily, but allow the songs to tell your story, capturing mood and/or meaning as you see fit. This isn't necessarily a list of your all-time favorite songs, although it could be, and it will probably include many of them - I hope that's clear. It's a collection of songs and artists that you love deeply that ALSO tell your life story/vibe/essence - however you interpret it.
Whew, Ok with that out on the page, here's my own futile attempt to whittle away things down to their very essence both musically and thematically.
