3 of our top 7 are the same, and you've got Big Star in there! This is a great, varied list that has both obvious choices and complete left-field choices. Most of this list that I don't already know is on my "to-listen" list. Terrific

What a wonderfully diverse list! I am especially interested in the Game Theory album. How does it compare to Lolita Nation?
