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 1983. It’s a pretty good year, i guess. There were some interesting debuts here. Plus some other things. We’ve been doing this for a while, and it’s hard to come up with things to say about every single year. i guess that’s why it’s just easier to list.
