The results aren't much of a surprise. Favorite artist is.. TMBG, followed closely by Weird Al (who hit his peak in the 80s and the 90s). BnL was hit and miss (for every good album they had, the next one never really worked well..), as was Fruvous.

Looks like 1992 and 2001 were REALLY good years for music.

It's no shock that since I started collecting CDs back around 1992, that's when things start getting continuous.
Except for 2005.
.. there's a few decent songs from 2005, The Caesars "Jerk it Out", OK Go's "Here we go again", but nothing really stuck as far as great albums. *shrug*

Meaningless, but interesting anyways. :)
