Good morning!

Here’s an affectionate attempt at ranking their records with the understanding that placing things you love in a rigid hierarchy is objectively insane

~Elizabeth Nelson

Welcome to Part 4!

We’re slowly inching our way to the halfway point in the countdown. As the numbers get smaller, the decisions on what stays and what goes get bigger.

It’s all a bit maddening, but also a helluva a good time. I hope you’re having as much fun reading these as we’re having putting them together for you.

As always, we want to hear which records landed with you, which ones didn’t, and which choices left you scratching your head. As with the previous editions, we are not responsible for any damage to laptops or phones thrown out of windows or moving vehicles.

Most importantly, we’d love to hear about your experience(s) with these albums and what they’ve meant to you in your life.

And with that, I’ll get out of the way, and get to the music.

Enjoy!
