My Top 5 Albums Per Year: 1986-2024

        Awhile back I did a list of my Top 3 favorite albums per year from 1963 up until now. Being the lunatic that I am, I’ve decided to now expand that Top 3 into a Top 5. Only this time, I was only able to make it as far back as 1986 before my brain broke. Furthermore, to make things a bit easier on myself, this time around I decided to include EP’s and box sets. Also, I’m including albums that I’ve released myself under my real name (fuck you, I can do that). Lastly, I included extra lists for 1991 specifically (cause that year was insane).
