Showing off my taste in music and failing miserably
A music meme, courtesy of the Gaping Silence "Pick an album
for every year of your life". The albums I chose are not necessarily the best, but are my favourites of that year. Some years were very difficult,
like e.g. 1980 or 1991 because so many good albums came out that year. A lot of metal made it on the list, though not deliberately. It's just that
in the nineties especially I lost most interest in rock or pop. To mkae it slightly easier, I excluded all live albums or boxed sets or that sort of
thing.
