favorite albums by year

this is according to the years that i was alive.
criteria for this: don't choose an album because it is what inspired something later on. choose albums that you listen to more than others from that year, and you feel a better connection to it. try to narrow it down to one. i have two for some of mine, but it is a tough call on those.
