The Bodyguard was a bad album but I’m glad Whitney has an AOTY

Purple Rain is one of the best albums of all time, yet alone one of the best soundtracks ever created. Should have won AOTY man.

Folklore AOTY

Waiting to Exhale is my favorite. Should’ve won Album of the Year !. Classic album with Whitney, Chaka, TLC, Aretha, Patti, Brandy etc.

I really enjoyed The Greatest Showman soundtrack. You know the feeling when a record is released around a memorable period in your life. Much reminiscences when you play the tracks again.
