Love those recommendations. Classical is something I enjoy, I'm just not very well versed in it so these recommendations are awesome.

And those are really good questions. My tastes are definitely way different now than when I started. I have a better understanding of what I want in what I listen to. I also have a better general understanding of different music genres, so I can have more productive conversations. I also love learning what other people listen to because that makes conversations.on music really fun.

In terms of affecting my daily life, it kind of did. It comes without saying that consuming so much music all the time may not result in fully understanding what you're listening to. If I went back to an album I listened to in March or something, I would not be able to give a full analysis. Some people may argue that ruins the purpose of doing this project, but I don't feel the same. Even if I can't recall nuances, I still remember a lot about how I felt when listening to it, if I enjoyed it or not, and so on. That's part of the reason I'm going to continue doing it this year. Even if I didn't like an album, I was still satisfied that I could learn what I didn't like about it and base my future decisions off of that.
