The reason I love Dylan. I know Blonde on Blonde might be the better album but this one means much more to me.

This one probably has better music than any of the other 4, but just misses the top spot out of sentimentalism.

Seems like there's not enough Radiohead here. JK, nice chart and I love the Bowie choices and Dylan is always nice. Just too much indie and 21st century things here for me. We do have 11 albums in common tho
