I think you should keep it. It lets your chart be unique, and that's why, despite our differences in taste, it remains one of my favorites Smile

That being said, one thing you should consider doing is adding an "honorable mentions" area in the introduction, discussing your favorite artists and what other albums you like from them.

Although it is tempting to go with a one album per artist limit in order to give a fairer representation of the breadth of your music tastes, the original intention of this website is (I believe) to produce an accumulated comprehensive list of the greatest albums ever made. Your decision to alter those intentions (granted, the impact is likely not a decisive one) is a bit like if people would give you advice on which albums to include and remove from your list instead of answering what you asked for. That, naturally, leads up to a discard your rule vote.

Thanks for the input. I'll go with a middle-ground option. Only 2 per artist. That'll make nobody happy Razz

I like your honourable mentions idea though, Applerill. I think I'll do that for the albums I had to leave off (some of which pained me greatly).

Makes me happy! Laughing

I tried to remove some albums from mine so it is only 2 per artist. Otherwise it would be Muse, Cure, Radiohead and Elbow!
