I'm off on holiday tomorrow and will have basically no internet for over a week. So naturally I'm downloading all the media I can think of, just in case of downtime.

Thought it might be fun to solicit some musical suggestions from you lot to help expand my mind. So here we are. What's your ultimate all-time #1 album?

My tastes are pretty eclectic* so feel free to suggest basically anything, and maybe I'll update after holiday and judge what I thought of them all. Or maybe not, you know, that sounds like potentially quite a lot of effort.

Cheers in advance!

* mostly on the alternative / rock side of things but also love various kinds of dance sub-genre on occasion and of course the genre-that-isn't-a-genre-at-all, Eurovision

This one is hard, but currently I think I'd have to go with folklore or evermore by Taylor Swift, which I'm sure is going to be very different to most suggestions you'll get!

I'm not really a Taylor Swift fan, but her alternative / country albums from 2020 blew me away, as I'm very much about that style of music. Shame she went back to doing standard pop, I was hoping she'd continue that way.

I have genuinely never heard a Taylor Swift album (am assuming I've heard individual songs but just not known they were her) so I'm quite excited to see what these are like!

They're extremely different to whatever you imagine Taylor Swift to be, these are much more "lowkey" (for lack of a better term) and I think she pulls them off brilliantly, but compared to the rest of her discography nobody really talks about them as they're not really upbeat or radio songs.

Other than knowing she has hooded eyes like mine, I don't really have any expectations at all tbh! Downloaded both and ready to go 😄
