[ This top 3 albums list for each year doesn't reflect lists of best-selling albums of a particular year nor my acknowledgement of music critics' reviews, but are solely reflecting what albums I have heard the most. I intend to expand the list to a top 10 list, and to include other favourites of the year in sorted order, but that's a costly affair... time-wise. ]
