This was a hard list to update. I am far removed from this time in my life now, and strangely detached from many of the albums I used to love. Weird

Outstanding chart! I love to see classics (in my opinion) such as Funeral and Sound of Silver ranked alongside some less conventional choices (Return the Gift, Year Zero). You've given me plenty to spin and rethink in my own rankings.
