Re: Groucho's top 100 albums
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.

Re: Groucho's top 100 albums
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.

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