A long list of albums that I don’t want to forget about. Most of them take me back to a specific point in time. I was curious to see the albums I’ve enjoyed ordered by year released. Haven’t been picky—if it brings back memories I stick it here.
Each album cover is compressed down to about ~2kb and only loads as it comes into view. You should expect the page to load up to 1MB of album covers as you scroll.
