Chart Thread
I was looking over some of my charts of albums recently and I thought this might be a cool idea.
If you don't know what a chart is, basically you can go here and put together a chart of up to 100 of your favorite albums to show people a quick look at your taste or whatever. I've seen people use this as favorite albums, albums that mean a lot to them but aren't necessarily their favorite, people putting custom pictures and making a list of their favorite artists, people making a chart of albums with a "theme" (food on the cover, albums about break-ups, albums of certain genres, etc.), the possibility is whatever you feel like putting together a bunch of albums/artists/anything else you can think of together to show to other people interested in them. I thought it might be a cool idea to see what other ~music users enjoy listening to.
You can also use this to show your rateyourmusic account if you have one, your last.fm, your sputnikmusic, anything pertaining to music that would be cool to look at.
This is my current chart that I need to update to some format I like more. It is currently a mix of my favorite albums, things I had enjoyed a large amount recently, and albums that are not necessarily my favorite but mean something special to me.

I need to adjust my chart and put some new things but here's the last one I made. I use it to try and be representative of my taste as a whole but it skews toward my favorites, if that makes sense. Like it's not a down-the-line list of my absolute favorites, but it also isn't going for the most variety possible. I don't want to be a nerd and put obscure shit on there just for the sake of it.

My Last.fm
Holy shit... someone else who loves Stromae!? I rewatch his 2015 Montréal - Racine Carrée Concert at least once a month. It's just so goddamn good and I am obsessed with it. All of his music, his style, his dancing and especially his insanely creative music videos are amazing.
For anyone unfamiliar with him, check these videos out (turn on captioning for English):

Tous Les Mêmes
Yup. Défiler the track itself was great, IMO, but the fashion show video was not really my cup of tea. ;) Stromae made it visually interesting and unique enough for me to enjoy but it was still ultimately just pretty people wearing pretty clothes walking down an aisle, so it probably won’t be something I go back and watch over and over like all his other videos.
I'm pretty into Tous Les Mêmes. As someone who knows no French, I joke that it's called "Toose less memes" and it's about internet culture.
