well.. considering it took like 15 minutes to whip up my list. And in a pretty good order as to the way I feel about the albums.  100 albums is nothing man.  If you have been listening to music, grown up with it, unless you are from the kiddie brigade, you have decades and decades of forming strong passionate attachments to albums. 

As far as tastes.. 99% of what I listen to today is not on that list.  However minus a very few albums it will take many years to crack a top 100 list.  I nearly put the recent UT Gret album on there, and would have if I had taken it out to 150. If I spend another year, listening to that as I have the last year, with great regularity. Several times a week.. then it would likely crack a top 100 list.

Wuuuh I'll stop now. Anyway, this list will automatically change and reboot in 37 seconds.

Well then I'll have to actually listen to the whole thing someday, God help me, instead of assuming it's a baseball-oriented piece of doo-doo.

No you haven't ever done me wrong, and I'm betting there must be something there for you to endorse what at the time seemed to be truly one of the Seven Signs.

Yep, sometimes it just takes you back to happier, or more carefree, times.

that is what I have always adored about the general vibe of 80's music.. it was so damn happy and optimistic. Perfect soundtrack to youth.. all doors were open and anything possible.

Like one of my altime favories.. man if you aren't smiling and movin' your ass. You have no heart and likely have a large branch jammed deeply in your ass.

Just one of many types of music I like I suppose. And for that we can still be friends.

Ok, so... all this lists and no The Who's Tommy?

Seriously?

I'll not make my list because I would need time... but... c'mon. Tommy, guys.
