Hey.
52 year old music freak (from Montreal Canada!) Been in bands all my life, was weaned on Uriah Heep and Dave Clark Five and everything in-between. Thought I'd hung it up for all things music back in the nineties but lo and behold: I find myself far more open to A LOT of music, a lot more than in my youth - not just rock and metal anymore. No, I'm actually listening to funk (the Meters), Motown (Jackson 5!) reggae (Culture!) and of course - more rock!
Anyway, I saw this article from this guy about the ten perfect albums and I found myself heartily disagreeing with the author because for the life of me, I couldn't come up with a single one perfect album myself. There's always the throwaway song in the bunch, yes, Sergeant Peppers and Never Mind the Bollocks and Boston and Master of Reality and Back in Black notwithstanding. But I AM more than willing to discuss the topic, because the author in question brought up a couple of albums I'd never heard and in the process made me discover some seriously good music (the Bottle Rockets among others).
Anyway. I work, I have a life, a band, a wife, yada yada yada, but when I do have an hour to myself, boy I'm putting on those headphones and locking the world out and zoning out on music while zeroing in on it.
I could talk albums all day. I guess that's why I'm here.
Good to be here!

ps. I'm probably just blind - but how come there's no "Secret Devil Sign" horned fist emoji? INSERT SECRET DEVIL SIGN HORNED FIST EMOJI HERE!!!!!
