List of Top Albums by Year
Although I am not a huge fan of subjectively
constructed «best-of» lists, there probably has
to be some sort of concise guide to the Only Solitaire system of judgements
and values, so, as a quick first aid, here is an overall list of those records,
reviewed on the blog, that I consider truly excellent. The list will be updated
on a regular basis as I review more, moving past the A's and the B's.
All albums here are arranged in chronological rather than
alphabetic order, so the list can be used as some sort of historical introduction. Albums marked in
bold fall into the category of «Great» — what I'd like to think of as major
artistic statements with lotsa cultural value. The rest are «Very good» — not
particularly original or influential, perhaps, but solid quality all the way
through, and consistently enjoyable. Recommended compilations are listed at the
bottom; those aren't specifically divided into «great» or «very good»
subcategories, because, well, a compilation is a compilation.
