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.
1985, all the way live. For the second week in a row i am unable to get to 25, but the next few years should make up for these. After that we’re really going to be in some wilderness, at least for me. Albums from before i was born? Frightening prospect.
