That's a really interesting list! I must admit I haven't heard most of the albums you haver listed, but you seem to have a quite wide and sensible selection.

I wonder if you could expand your list (to a Top 50 if a Top 100 is far too much) and/or write some justification for your choices. My feeling on first impressions is that if you could you might be able to write something like the lists from Joe S. Harrington and David Keenan that profoundly affected my listening habits during this decade.
