These albums are all so fucking good. And there are other fucking good albums that didn’t make this list. Why? Because we live in an age of so much fucking good music! I know we’re fortunate. We may not have universal healthcare, but at least we’ll be able to die a preventable death because we can’t afford treatment with a smile on our face and a beating in our heart.
