My Top 101 Albums 1994 – 2009 (15 Years)

Yeah that’s right, Fuck those 100 Top lists…I’m 1 upping them. These will not be in any specific order, just what pops in my head…and yes there will be multiple albums from bands. This list will only include recent years (albums released after I started listening to music I guess) and I will admit a good portion of the list is 2000 to now, but then again that’s really when I started getting into music with high school and all. What’s the point in listing every Beatles album and so on and so forth? Everyone knows those albums by now, and if they don’t, there is no hope for them anyway.
