Actually, Rudolph has a / eclectic knowledge and interest in music that extends beyond LA A.O.R from the 1970s.

 

The smug, self-anointed sanctimony never ends.

 

and never will, so long as these ridiculous name you "favorite, 'best' 'worst' top ##" are here.

ever look up how many total albums were released in 1992? i didn't think so. it's just easier to start a thread.

put a poll.

 

Why are they ridiculous? It's subjective, so I prefer favorite over best. No one forces you to read the thread and no one forces you to reply.

And with all the self-produced albums and independent labels, it's impossible to know how many albums were released in any given year.

 

Your Arsenal - Morrissey
The High Llamas - Santa Barbara
Fragments of a Rainy Season - John Cale
PJ Harvey - Dry
3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of... - Arrested Development
Love Symbol Album - Prince & NPG
Harvest Moon - Neil Young
Sugar - Copper Blue
XTC - Nonsuch
Human Town - Bruce Springsteen (released on the same day = mergeable for my own convenience here)

Special mention for archival release :
The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters - Elvis Presley I can't even remember if the set sounded good, but it was my introduction to Elvis' deep cuts
