Since most of us avoid adding compilations to our charts like the plague, I thought it would be fun to do a list exclusively made up of comps! I'm gonna do my top 25, but feel free to leave it at 10 (or go all the way to 100!). Criteria include the album's cohesiveness and artistic integrity, as well as comprehensiveness and overall quality of material. This is geared toward my personal taste too, so, to each his pwn. [Anthologies not included]
