Volume 1: Off the Cuff
When I first embarked on my journey to chronicle my favorite albums from the 1990’s (which is where probably 80% of the music I listen to comes from) I started out by wildly jotting them down as fast as I could think of them. Once I’d weeded out the few that I’d erroneously chosen as products of the 90’s, I had a nice round 40 ready to go. I knew there’d be more, but this is what came out of my head first.
