Reflections : One, Two, Three Years Ago : April

26Apr10

Three years of music… No… I’m not about to try and summarize all of the amazing albums that have made it to my rotations list – that is nearly impossible. Instead, I want to point my time machine to this exact month of April, over a period of one, two, and then three years, to see what I have been enjoying back then. Thanks to my membership of last.fm, I was able to gather these statistics and tabulate the top played albums going back three years. Many of you already know that I don’t believe in ‘dating’ music – a great album is a great album, regardless of when it was released. So here’s a very short flashback to the music of my past, that will no doubt be played again today in my rotations…
