Tape Op Staff Picks for 2019 and the Decade

What another great year for music! It is always a challenge to sit down, reflect and try to narrow down all our favorite albums of the year (let alone a full decade!) into a simple list. Here at Tape Op we are frequently making music suggestions to each other and since there is nothing like a friend's reccomendation, we hope you find some favorites of your own and discover something new on our lists.
Happy Holidays and New Year from your friends at Tape Op!

Larry, John, Geoff, Marsha, Anthony, Scott and Andy
