A List of Alternative Albums Recommendations

Activity Tracker 101 – 1/10/21 – 3:44 p.m.

This is an exercise in consistency and discipline I originally experimented with in 2018, but continued firm with in 2020. The seed I planted for this act of serendipity is the music charts I made from 1997-2004. The tab I kept up with most and enjoyed was the Music one. I also tracked Books, Movies, Audiobooks, Youtube, and Podcasts just to name a few. I will share what seems the most logical before 2020 is too far in the rear view window. I am still going in 2021 and am figuring out the best method to express this information. I might make it storytelling or it might be more academic(if that’s possible).
