OK. Fine. 100, it is. In a white hot frenzy, I've added 20 more albums that have had staying power or currently have staying power. I've also done a bit of reshuffling. Feedback is always welcome.

Thanks for the rating Mr. Shankly! One quarter of your chart is the same as mine. Although I don't completely with the inclusion of compilations, everything here is fantastic. I've been meaning to get into The Jam for a while now.
