Favorites from all genres (that I listen to). Not a catch-all list; many enjoyable albums were excluded (the list was double the size when I started). All albums were listened to many times (not by streaming, for what it’s worth). I have no time to write about each album, or look up the record label names. Reach out if you want to talk about any of them, I’ll talk your ear off. Best wishes…
