My Favorite Albums, Past and Present

These eighteen albums have made a lasting impression on me in one way or another since I began exploring the music collection of my parents years ago. They're in no particular order, just a collection of albums that, from start to finish, never get old. You can click on the images in order to see an enlarged version.
