Top 50 Records of the Decade.

These are albums that effected me in one way or another. It would be too difficult to do an actual order since one may have meant more to me at the time and I wouldn't want to cheat it's importance. There is also a couple records listed in the years it was released but I may not have got into until later. Lastly, you may notice there isn't any albums listed for 2009. That is because there wasn't any new bands/artists to effect me like the years before have. Not to say there weren't great records this year, because there were plenty. Maybe I'm not searching as hard as I used to, or maybe I'm harder to get through to.

Either way. It's been a great decade for punk and independent music. This is me appreciating it. My heart goes out to kids raised in this decade on top 40, because it was garbage. 90's forever motherfuckers.
