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. |

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. |
