(Sorry for this unusually non-professional blog post. I\u2019ll get back to business with my next post!)<\/p>\n
I was born in 1972, and my taste in music shows that I\u2019m living in the past already: Though I love many current songs, only few albums feel magical and coherent from the first to the last song. For me, all of these are from the mid-seventies and the eighties.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty unlikely that all the best music was written in a 15-year period quite a while ago. This music resonates the most with me probably because I discovered it as a teen.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s my list of perfect albums:<\/p>\n
