Episode #1154
The latest music nerd social media trend, My9, which asks users to “Pick the 9 albums that made you” is equal parts infuriating and intriguing. How could you ever boil down a lifetime of music to 9 albums? Well, it turns out that I absolutely cannot. I made 4 different lists of 9 and still left dozens out. Today on the show, we hear music from a bunch of albums that made me, and once again, failed to even come close to covering them all.
Scroll down to see my social media images, and then go make your own; I’d love to see it!
To see even more from my lists, you can check out the playlists that represent my different eras:
