Favorite Records

I'm not one to place albums over singles but for this list I'm concentrating on albums. Songs are short and there are too many to mention anyway. Whereas with albums, I don't think there are more than about ten that really work in any given year. I'll try to hold myself to that. Most of these were discovered way past their release date but I will mark the ones that I did become aware of near their release date by bolding them. I put reissues in the year when the material on them was originally released even if it was as a bunch of 7".

This is a work in progress. I will add more records and short descriptions.
