7 Replacements albums and 4 Westerberg albums? I'm certainly not one to judge, I respect the hell out of that. This is a very fine list, we have similar taste

Thanks Bobby... threw it together pretty quickly. Just bumped it up to 40, though it's still rough and I'm definitely forgetting some stuff...
