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.
Will there ever be another decade for music like the 70s? It’s possible i’m overvaluing them, but the lists i’ve been posting and seeing have just been staggering. And there’s still one more week of these lists after this! See you then, and now.
