1994, 1993, 1992: Eight releases listed per year

y last poll went down to 2005. I do like working backwards chronologically when it comes to the years. In the last series of polls I opted to limit myself to five per year, for 25 total, but that did feel painfully limiting. I'm happier doing this as four sets of eight , and then the remaining space can be for "Other". I do like to cover multiple years to cover more yearly ground faster. I don't like to drag these things out for a very long time. While one is free to mention as many "others" as one likes, voting "other" is intended to be for those who appreciate no album in the poll. This can be because they dislike everything they know in the poll or because they know nothing in the poll.

Please try to vote for one per year in the poll, or five total no matter the year if you can. One is fine too, so is two. And please do not let limited familiarity stop you from voting or commenting on what you do know and like, if any, from the list. Sometimes I get comments like, "I know hardly anything in the list, so no vote." I would rather people state they know little and mention what they do know and vote for it if they also like it. I appreciate those kinds of details.

Please mention your votes and any others you like from these years. It's not a contest, no winners, no losers, it's not about better and worse for me, and I'm not a stickler for such multiple voting regulations (well, sometimes I am), except that you only vote once per option.

"Other", again, means you like nothing in the poll and will mention something in a post that would get your vote and a comment if it were included from the years.
