Thegardener's Decade
I don't post much around here, but I am always reading reviews and
generally enjoying my time on sputnik. I have been exposed to many
amazing albums and I've had a chance over the past year or so to listen
to a couple hundred albums from the past decade. After letting them sink
in I've arrived at my top 50. Some are obvious, some aren't, but they all
come highly recommended from me. |
