Default Some Love For My Neglected Albums
It happens to just about every collector - you reach a point where you realize you've acquired more albums than you'll be able to listen to in your lifetime. Or, in the earlier stages, you may find yourself with hundreds of albums you've purchased... you know you've listened to for maybe for one initial spin... but then they were shelved as you refocused your energies on your next acquisitional conquest.

I've arrived at that realization several times over the past year, and in an effort to right that wrong I began a running list in Google Keep of albums I need to revisit or those deserving of a focused and dedicated first-listen. Unfortunately, the list quickly outgrew the app and became cumbersome to navigate, so this morning just after midnight I took a few hours to reconstruct the list as a uniformly-formatted spreadsheet for easier reference. All catalog numbers are noted beside each artist and title, and all entries are vinyl unless otherwise stated.

Below is a roster of the top 125 neglected albums and box sets that I've purchased but not taken the time to enjoy in 2016. My goal is to curb my investments in additional material for a while and to really dig into these classic titles that I already have.

So for the remainder of the summer, this is what I'll be spinning...
