The Rock Blogger

I turn 23 today, and before I head out for beer and hamburgers, I thought I would come up with a list highlighting some of the revolutionary records that have come out since I was born. It’s kind of a retrospective of where rock has been and where it’s going, a celebration if you will. So here are some of my favorite records, organized by year, that have shared my place in history.
