Welcome back to this special retrospective music-posting feature. The gimmick is simple — each week, you post your favorite 25 (or whatever) albums of a given year. We are now moving backwards until we run out of either albums or years.
i’m not sure what to say about 1988 in particular. i think it’s not generally considered a particularly strong year, but it seems like a lot of important stuff came out around this time? Maybe that stuff is the exception. Post what you’ve got and let’s compare.
