Greetings music lovers,
Today’s blog is a monthly continuation of 25 albums you should own and has the following parameters:
- Album must have been recorded/released in or after to 2000
- No duplication of artist
- No live albums or greatest hits (kind of an all encompassing copout to include either)
- Listing of my favorite track from said album (This is not so much a parameter but a mere bonus for your reading pleasure)
