Oh boy. From @naima, who should win the MacArthur, the Guggenheim and the Oscar for these threads. My #ninegoodalbums #9goodalbums 
A real songwriting bent in my selections. Plus, I could've chosen many Commodores albums. They really represent an instinct I have for soul music but I had to be honest and go with the first one I remember engaging with. There are now way deeper cuts I would choose.
And the challenge was nine albums that BUILT me. These were the ones I have concrete memories and emotions attached to.
