I like the choices here. I love Countdown to Ecstasy, Astral Weeks, many others.

Great work with the comments and love the choices specially elevating Brian Wilson's Smile that high up, pretty deserving.

Guess I'm gonna have to give childish gambino a chance to win me over.

Wow, feels great to be chart of the day! Although this is a somewhat out-of-date chart, I really need to update it with some more recent discoveries, and expand it to 100 albums

But I'm glad people are getting some enjoyment from it. I tried to mix in choices from lots of decades and genres to give a full idea of my tastes. Greg, great to see another fan of the 2004 Smile album. I see The Smile Sessions get so much more love here and while it's great hearing the Beach Boys in their prime handling the songs, Brian's version feels so much more complete in its vision (understandably so). As for Gambino - he's certainly divisive, so no harm done if he hasn't won you over. And do keep in mind my age: I think I'm a bit more inclined towards liking him, being of a certain generation.
