My resident musicologist, Jon Schwartz, has offered us a rare opportunity to view the contents of his head. Following in this two-part entry are the Top 100 Albums of the last decade according to Jon. Links will take you to a YouTube video of a representative or favorite song from the album. Jon graces us with some thoughts about a few select records. Then I'll chime in with a few albums I think Jon forgot.
Enjoy!
