2009-11: Top 100 Albums From 1300+ In The Past 3 Years
Been living under a rock? Here is a list of all the albums that you should
have checked out in the past three years. It includes the best of 09, 10,
and 11, after I decided that music was going to be a hobby of mine. As
such, I listened to over 1300 albums from these three years, so thought it
was worth making a list of the top 100 in exact order. |
