This is an awesome list. All the albums are great, but many are just obscure enough to keep it from getting boring :)

From NathanTen 11/26/2008 09:14

Aw shucks, I love all the Dylan, Beatles, and Stones on the list. I really love "Blood On the Tracks" but I'm the rare contrarian who prefers "Desire" and "Planet Waves" from that era. You get major points for having "Desire" at number two, enough anyway to compensate for putting Bruce Springsteen on your list. A bit of a monotonous list, but still, hard to argue with most of its content.

This is actually my first working list...it will be updated and will probably take a month or so to fine tune and made my final. I will have 4 or 5 top 20 lists
