We don’t write about music we don’t like, we don’t listen to music we don’t like, we don’t attend concerts we don’t like. But we sometimes write about “not so good” music from artists we really like. Most great artists have a diverse body of work, and it’s important to shed a light over different parts of their legacy.

We hope that people will be inspired by the postings and that it motivates them to  take a trip to their local record store (or web shop) and buy their albums, their DVDs, read about them in books or magazines  and see them in concert whenever possible. Enjoy our posts, say hello, leave comments, share, and check out the fantastic musical past and present.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”borntolisten” color=”primary” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-facebook” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FJohannasVisions%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column 0=””][vc_message message_box_style=”3d” icon_type=”entypo” css_animation=”fadeIn” icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-user”]Egil Mosbron ([email protected])[/vc_message][vc_row_inner 0=””][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6329″ img_size=”400×400″ add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”6330″ img_size=”400×400″ add_caption=”yes” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]My name is Egil, and I’m an musicoholic. I stash music books in the car, the bathroom, bedroom (under & besides the bed), livingroom, kitchen, travelbag &  in the office. I have loads of music on my laptops, ipods, iPad, cellphone, desktops,… I think about music all day long… (even dream it..) To spare my family & friends, I need somewhere to let steam off….This is it!
I love “all kinds” (quote from Elvis Presley) of REAL music.. Folk, Country, Blues, Jazz, Soul, Rock.. even some Rap & Electronica. But most of all I love the music of Bob Dylan. I’ve been in love with Bob Dylan’s music for about twenty-six years, and my experience of and with it becomes richer and more rewarding all the time.

Well, this is a serious matter… These are my chosen records, the list is dynamic. That means that it changes from day to day. The top 10 is fairly constant, but they switch places.

My lists are always snapshots of my mind on a particular moment. I am working on a list for concert albums, the list below would have been a bit different if we hadd allowed live albums to be included.
