Welcome to The Music Hole!

My mission is to make exploring music history easy and fun by finding and sharing what I consider to be the world’s most engaging albums (on the side I’m also doing this for video games and films - see the bottom of this page). I’m mostly interested in rock music but I do check out other genres. I'm always trying to find new stuff to listen to and as of 2/1/2020 I have combed through over 40,000 albums. My name is Cole and I hope you enjoy this ongoing project of mine :o)

Album Progress Playlists (current total = 40,425):
1. ( -> C
2. D -> H
3. I -> M
4. N -> R
5. S -> Z

Miscellaneous playlists:

** My Top 100 2010s Songs Playlist **
** A Few Reasons Why I Love the 80s Mix 🤓 **
** Local Vinyl Night Playlists **

Helpful notes:

1. Albums with 3 STAR images are among the best of all-time so I recommend starting with those.
2. "*****" Next to an artist's name indicates the link will contain at least one 3 STAR album.
3. Songs with a music video have an "*" next to it and clicking the song title will take you there.
4. Albums in my "Runner-Ups I'm Still Mulling Over" page below are separate and do not appear on my main lists.
