After the clean-up of the cd collection database, the results are in...
This graph only includes a strict definition of "album". No best-of compilations, no various artists, no live albums, no rarities collections. Just studio albums.
I've also filtered out all duplicate collectors item copies.
Now I've gone to the effort to get all the release years into my database, I can now hopefully complete a meme I've been putting off for a while, my favourite album for each year of my life.
I hope to interpret the graph above in a separate post. I think the keywords are "90s teenager" and "backfill".
