This is a ranking of albums that are not necessarily the greatest of all time, but albums that I have listened to the most, almost to a point of obsession. These are the top albums that I keep coming back to to hear again and again.

Excellent chart with a mind-blowing top ten! One of the best that i've ever seen! Great update of course, as i am surprised to see "At Night At The Opera" fourth

This gets more interesting as you move beyond the top 10. I like your 20-100 list.
