Another wonderful for music. Along with more conventional fare, my list has some pretty odd stuff in it, but that’s just what I’ve listened to and loved. I was trying for a Top 10, and failed. And yet, many terrific albums didn’t make the cut. This could just have easily (or more easily) have been a Top 50.
So, here is my Top 25. I encourage you to investigate them all. But beware: some are pretty strange!
