WHAT'S THE STORY?
Back in 1987, a former co-worker (and fellow music geek) and I exchanged top ten album lists at the end of the year. In 1988, we did the same thing, adding a few more reviews and passing them around to friends at work. It's grown since then. I moved the reviews to the web in the early 90s, and started adding graphics in 1996.
In 2005, it struck me just how many of these I've done, so I figured an overall index page would be handy. You can look at a particular year's review, browse by artist, or check out the FAQ. Hope you have fun.
Feel free to drop me a note if you've got any comments.
