I've decided to clip a few of the albums off of my list and add new ones as my taste expands. I've done this because some of these albums do not interest me anymore, and I've also decided to try and expand the musical types. For instance, punk and indie rock populate the majority of this list, and due to a lot of these albums being in the same genre, themes begin to repeat themselves. Hopefully this will create a more diverse list and as a result, a more diverse series of essays. However, Indie Rock will still dominate this list, haha.

Also, for those interested, here is a list of the additions and those who got cut:
