Doc, do you like music? If yes, which genre? Or do you just listen to electricity noises?
MY DEAR SIMPLETON, ALL RECORDED MUSIC IS ELECTRONICALLY PRODUCED NOISE! BUT WE COULD TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER... IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO SIMULATE THE EXPERIENCE OF MUSIC.
A SERIES OF HYPER-CONTROLLED SHOCKS TO THE SYNAPSES OF YOUR LIMBIC SYSTEM MIGHT DO THE TRICK.
DO ME A FAVOUR AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU START HEARING RICK JAMES.

dear @vegawriters tagged me to share my top 10 albums of all time and it was hard!! these answers have to be for up to now since it's otherwise an impossible choice!
1. the blessed unrest - sara bareilles
desert island album. next.
2. hadestown - the original broadway cast of hadestown
anyone surprised? brilliant, poetic, magic music. love letter to altos, activists, and dreamers.
3. dance fever - florence + the machine
love florence always, this album is just particularly beloved.
4. abba gold - abba
raised me. grew up singing along at the top of my lungs with my family.
5. the gabe dixon band - gabe dixon (and his band)
soundtrack of late night backseat rides home. music i love and can hear my mom harmonizing to.
6. ghost quartet (live at the mckittrick)- dave malloy, brent arnold, brittain ashford, gelsey bell
weird fuckin musical theatre (?) dream project of mine, a circular, multi-plot, time-strange delight. live album preferred since it gets you the little scenes between songs!
7. dirty computer - janelle monae
afro-futurist filmic feast. nourishing words, beautiful shots, unapologetic queer femmes of color that were especially important to me as a middle teen.
8. montero - lil nas x
banger after banger, underscoring of late teens/early twenties. so clearly rooted in country, despite what the gatekeepers of the genre would like us to believe.
9. kamikaze love - kate klim
simple sweet songwriting i remember hearing in a lovely little listening room when it was released. "somewhere" is particularly special to me.
10. just crazy enough - shel
dear friends who make wonderful music (and music videos, check them out)! just the flavor of odd, multi-media, polymathematic art i needed as a youngin.
not a tagger, but if you want to share, i want to hear about it!!

Because I could only have 12 options, honorary mention: The Trojan War (Cassandra)
This is not about the music, your favourite song, or anything. This is literally which song in the album has the best/weirdest/most interesting plot.
If you think I got one of the plots wrong, that's fine. You can let me know if you can be nice about it, but if you want to be an ass, keep it to yourself.
Actual song titles if you need a reminder below the cut:
The Visitors
Head Over Heels
When All is Said and Done
Soldiers
I Let the Music Speak
One of Us
Two for the Price of One
Slipping Through My Fingers
Like an Angel Passing Though My Room
Should I Laugh Or Cry
The Day Before You Came
Under Attack
