Haven't put one of these together in a while; if I'd made it tomorrow or yesterday, it would look substantially, if not radically, different. Suffice it to say that I've made a point of excluding records that I, in theory, admire yet rarely, if ever, actually feel like listening to, and that a number of canonical artists whom I like just fine simply don't have one specific record that I'm crazy about. Included is basically everything else, including live albums, hits compilations, and very recent albums that I may admittedly not be so enthusiastic about by the end of this decade. Here's the list:
