The List

Well, Here's the list. I'm going to start filling it in from the bottom!

[Editorial Disclaimer:
The order of this list doesn't exactly reflect my opinions very well, but if I were to reorder it, I don't think it would do any better. Some of the albums down towards the bottom simply didn't get enough play time for me to fall in love and/or dissect them and likely should be placed higher. You may also notice the absence of Fleet Foxes, which I can understand, but I could never get into the album. It's good stuff, but it never caught me. And don't even get me started on coldplay.]
