Revision as of 11:33, 20 September 2018
This is a list of my favorite albums per month according to their release date.
When I love multiple albums released in the same month of the same year, which frequently happens because albums are primarily released in the fall, this list will only show my most favorite of the album of the month. Although this does cause many of my favorite albums over all to be eliminated, it gives you a better view of my favorite music over time.
I have also excluded compilation albums and albums with an unknown month of release.
