My 5 Favorite Albums

This list will be the five albums I listen to the most. These albums all for one reason or another stand out to me as being exceptional. I find that I can always shuffle one of these albums anytime I'm not sure what to listen to. One rule however, one album per artist. Otherwise I'd probably have like three Watskky albums on here...

5. Livin Foul - Wax

This album has by far some of Wax's best songs. "This One's on Me" is my favorite song of his, and one of my favorites of all time. Accompanied by other hits such "Scumbag" and "The Meanest", This album is one of his best selling. The album also contain the epic 10 minute song "No Smoking in the House", in which Wax prominently displays his skill as a writer. Overall, I would have to say this album is my favorite by Wax, although his newest installment "The Cookout Chronicles" is an


4. X - Ed Sheeran

Where do I begin? This is my go-to album when I need to relax. I actually have this album as a CD, and that speaks volumes truthfully. This album is just  a nice change of pace from the typical hip-hop and rap music I enjoy. Sheeran's songs feature catchy chord progressions and his incredible singing voices.

3. Speak Now - Taylor Swift

I love Tswift, and this is definitely my favorite album of hers. There is not a song on this album I don't love. From the emotional songs like Back to December and Dear John to the upbeat Speak Now and Sparks Fly, this album has everything a Swift fan could want. This is by far the most "pop" album she had released before 1989. This album is always a crowd pleaser

honorable mention


2.  Blurryface - Twenty One Pilots

This album is possibly one of the greatest compilations of songs ever. Every song on this album reflects the unique style of the artist. Twenty One Pilots have always had very prominent lyricism in their songs, and tracks like Stressed Out and Lane Boy reflect that. Their style of alternative music makes them an entirely unique genre, so there really is nothing else like it. My favorite song off this album is The Judge .

1. x infinity - Watsky

I know this may be his newest album, but it has quickly earned it's spot as my favorite album of his. The album is packed with great songs, from relaxing tracks like Little Slice and Chemical Angels, to fast-raps like Brave New World, to lyrical masterpieces such as Love Letters and Don't be Nice, to ground-breaking new style songs like Tiny Glowing Screens Pt.3, and all wrapped up with the beautifully epic Lovely Things Suite (4 songs) and the massive cypher, Exquisite Corpse. This album is the absolute complete package. It ties years of Watsky's success together, and has rightfully earned it's spot as my favorite album.
