Alright, so this post was originally intended to be posted in late 2013, but, well, never quite came together in time. There were a lot of mentions in the music press in 2013 of bands commemorating the 20th anniversaries of some of their releases. That got me thinking: 1993 was a pretty good year for music. So I've put together a list of some of my favourite albums released during a year that fell smack in the middle of my musical coming of age.
