As I post my thoughts on each album, I’ll fill in the list, ranked by the Association of Music Workers in Taiwan. To view the complete list, along with ranking criteria, track listings, album covers, and commentary by professional critics who unlike me actually know what they’re talking about, buy the much-discussed (Chinese-language) book Taiwan Popular Music: 200 Best Albums (台灣流行音樂 200最佳專輯).
