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 have no idea what was going on in 1986, so it seems like an especially strange year to me. Actually, i can’t even get to 25 albums this week. Maybe this is just the way things are now. Those about to list, school me on ’86.
