What's Good to Try (1980)

This list contains all of the albums released in 1980 that I listened to in 2021 and early 2022, in the order in which I listened to them. I began with a list of 300 albums, which I listened to via a randomized order. When it became clear that there were a great deal more interesting albums (and whole genres) out there that my original list had failed to account for, I added many more in, and it transformed how I listen to music. While I only listened to each album once to begin with, I then returned to listen to a couple hundred of them a few times more, and the lists of my favorites and near favorites can be found below.
