The Basement TapesMixed Nationality Bob Dylan & The Band
Greatest lyricist of all-time at the top of his game with an amazing backing band, having fun and making some intimate amazing music. I know some think I am crazy that this is my favorite album in Dylan' amazing cannon but it truly is. A timeless masterpiece from several North American legends.

Safe Mode: On		DoggystyleUnited States Snoop Dogg
Instant Classic, Snoop would never really live up to the potential he displayed on this amazing record. Much of the rest of his catalog is meh but this record is amazing. Sick flow from Snoop and some monster Dr. Dre Beats. He hit the ground running then seems to get lost in amaze of marijuana smoke. But He is making a fortune and seems genuinely to love his kids and trying to improve hs community and i applaud that as well as this brilliant record.

A fantastic record Changes and life on mars are my two favorite Bowie songs and you get them both on this record packed full of other gems. Mick Ronson is fabulous as always and the band all around is terrific. A truly remarkable record.

American BeautyUnited States Grateful Dead
So unlike the sonic assaults of most of their previous albums this was cowboy rock n roll a western flavored affair that would spell the coming of a new decade with different sensibilities to the wild roaring60's.

The Marshall Mathers LPUnited States Eminem
What a wordsmith, Hard to believe this record is over 15 years old already. Amazing talent and flow with an ability to create the most uncanny rhymes while delivering shocking tales of varying degrees some to prove a point some to settle a beef and some for sheer comic glee. Stan is arguably one of the Genres best songs.

DreamerUnited States Bobby Bland
A funky r and b soul classic featuring the legendary Bobby blue bland. This is a legendary album of master musicians laying down one great track after another. Somewhat forgotten masterpiece that needs to be rediscovered by many. This is great music.

Not much in common (only 8 albums & 8 artists) but phenomenal choices in rock, hip-hop, funk, soul, prog, jazz, etc. Super rich and inclusive. Great notes too. Loved seeing Cat Stevens at #12, he was one of my first loves and that album was among the first few I owned. I saved some of your rap selections to listen to later. None of your choices seemed cliche (Even Beatles at #1), I'm glad you chose this method of entry. Saving this chart to my favorites.

I liked reading your notes. They are really sensible. And I liked what you wrote about trying to make an honest chart about what are REALLY your favorite albums, rather than what you think SHOULD be your favorite albums. But even that isn't as easy as it sounds, as I've discovered.
