happy new year!! new decade!! new beginnings!! speaking of which, we are in the midst of experiencing the beginning of a new era! a new era of art, television, technology, fashion, movies, music- is this what the 80’s felt like!?! it’s all very exciting… but as we move on to the 20’s (again) i’d like to reflect on this past decade that has brought so many great tunes into my life. now, if i listed all the songs that have had an impact on me in the last decade or even songs that were just my fuggin jaaammm, we might need another decade just to listen to it all. so i’ve listed some (i had to cut it down) of my favorite albums that i have played (and maybe overplayed) from this past decade. it was a brutal task that no one asked me to do but i enjoyed the walk down memory lane SO… without further ado, here are my favorite albums of the decade.
