music I had on repeat, grouped by quarter and rotation, then ordered alphabetically by artist

Music doesn't always fit neatly into reviews or ratings. Some albums take a while to click, some return out of nowhere from a different part of life, and a lot of it depends on mood or what I'm doing. I'm not reaching for aggressive music first thing in the morning, but it might be exactly what I want during a PUMP.
