If I had to order them by preference, it would be Abbey Road and then I would get all frustrated with trying to make the rest of them fit.

There are also some albums that are half good -- in other words, they have some of my favorite songs on them but also some that I skip, so I didn't list those. These albums are all worth listening to from start to finish.

OK, the White Album doesn't quite fit that because it has Revolution 9, but 99% of that album is great.

But of course.

When you're my age, make your own top 100 list and see how many albums were from your college years.

It may be an old timer list but it also has a good amount of depth and a fair few newer albums too. Good list.

Putting Franz Ferdinand's worst album and four (FOUR) Weezer albums in his Top 100 ... is insane. :P
