29 Albums about 29 years.

My husband has decided as of last night, that he needs to know more about the music I like.

I'm not really sure what spurred this on after 5 years, but hey, it's a sweet gesture...

(Although, I know him like the back of my hand and I'm pretty sure that part of what's driving this is the desire to finally best me in music trivia.)

See, Hubbs and I don't really like the same time of music. Nor do we treat music the same way.

I think that music is crucial to my daily life, and must be on at (almost) all times.

He sorta treats it like white noise.

If it's there, okay, but he won't make the effort to turn it on.

But I digress....

His little research project got me thinking:

What is the music that has meant the most to me? Hmmm....

You know what this means, right?

It's time for a LIST.

(I kinda heart lists)

The 29 (1 for each year I've been alive) Albums that have been a huge part of me:
