Happy New Year To All My Friends and Followers
As usual I write my list of favourites in music.
In this regard 2016 was a very fertile year.
This is my Top 233.
You may think 233. That’s easy. I have a ranking from 0 to 7. 7 is the best and can only given once. Everything above 4 is good and better than average what is 3 – 4.
So this list has every album with a ranking above 4. I assums I missed some I didn’t digitized yet.
0-1 is disgusting.
1-2 is wasted time.
2-3 is meh.
3-4 is average and does not count as bad buy but below 3 does.
4-5 is good and can please me most of the time.
5-6 is very good and can heard at any occasion even for breakfast.
6-7 is excellent and in beautiful shape from very point of view. 7 is given only once a year.
