Your best albums each year since you are born
Here’s a cool exercise you can do. Name your ONE album each year since your date of birth (or sooner).
For a specific year, it must be an album released that year. Of course.
Name your best album, not the one you think is the best. The album that moved you. the album that is special to you.
You’ll see, for some years, it’s really difficult to choose. For some other years, it’s hard to find one interesting album. ;)
Since you probably don’t remember everything... rateyourmusic.com can be a very good help!
