Top 45 Music Albums of 1988

Recently listened to this year for #5albums88 and I think this is the best ever year! This could be my age in 1988 or just the random conjunction of my likes. Lots of country in my chart, but it was mainly the indie-pop of my youth that I enjoyed the most in 5albums88. The big discovery though was Edie Brickell.
