Hey, everybody, this is an idea I essentially stole from The Port Huron Statement (the band, not the document). This is to be an ever growing list of what everyone consideres their 10 favorite albums, with those submissions used to generate an authoratative ranking of great recordings. There's no good reason or purpose for this. I just think it's interesting. Once I get enough submissions, I'll start posting an overall Top 10 or 20 or something.
And so we begin with my top 10:
