25 Favorite Features
The Daily Vault has played host to a wide variety of features over the past 25 years, from interviews and concert reviews to book and film reviews, our notorious opinion essays, and our expansive retrospectives and rankings columns. What follows is a somewhat representative but typically eclectic sampling of our favorite features from the past quarter century. Most are single pieces, though in the name of being true to the “favorite” label we’ve also included five features in their entirety: our retrospectives, Darren Paltrowitz’s long-running music news column “Keeping Up,” our rankings feature, “20 Albums That Influenced Me” from our 20th anniversary celebration, and “My Favorite 101 Songs (More Or Less).”
