If Hidden Track is just one of many music blogs you read than you’ve probably seen a bunch of bloggers listing their favorite albums from each year they were alive. Before the weekend started, we asked a number of our contributors and JRoxx of Runaway Dinosaur to come up with lists of their own to share.

Everyone we asked to make this list came back and told us how much fun they had putting it together. To join in the fun just leave your list as a comment on the bottom of this post. If you need help determining what album came from what year you can use Wikipedia’s list of album releases or Robert Christgau’s Pazz and Jop rundowns. Here’s what we came up with…
