Albums Of My Life

Considering today is a little on the slow side (for once), I've decided to trace back the roots of my life in an interesting way. Here is a list of essential records that came out each year of my existence. Starting with the year I was born and leading up to the present, these are my selections for the albums that define who I am and how I came to be. Some are a blend of what I appreciate now and what I was into that year. Hence, some embarrassment is probably in order. Take into consideration that not all of these are still my favorite. They just happened to be my favorite at the time. So, on that note, if you don't agree or have a different opinion, you can rightly go screw yourself. I regret nothing!!
