Lists are fun to make! Like every other blogger out there, I was debating on making a list for my favorite albums of the decade. I have plenty of favorites in mind, but I don’t think it is possible for me to make a list. After all, I only became a music geek 5 years ago. I didn’t think that I should be making a best of decade list when I was only really invested in music for half of it. Before then, my taste in music was a lot different. I mean nine years ago I was only ten years old!! Ten years ago I was listening to the fucking Backstreet Boys!! My point being, that I never had the chance to fully digest this decade’s musical offerings! I don’t think I have earned the right to make a list, since there is plenty that I missed out on. I didn’t want to just ignore the closing of this decade though! I still have plenty of thoughts and experiences to share with you!
So instead of making a list, I decided to tackle a different beast. I am going to post about the albums that have been game changers in my life. You know, the albums that I retreated to after school. The albums that I kept bugging my friends to listen to. The records that caused my mom to yell at me because I was blasting them so loud! These are albums of my teenage years. My musical youth! I have made so many fond memories with these albums. They may just be #70 on your list, or even an album that you hate. But to me, they hold a special place and my heart, and no one can take that away from me!
So get ready for my Albums Of The Decade series. I hope you enjoy it! The first one is coming today!
