These are what I believe my top 20 favorite albums to be. I tried to pick albums that I liked all the tracks on except for maybe one. Most of these were chosen because of the special meanings they have to me and the connections to when I heard them for the first time. This is why it doesn’t include many (any?) of the “classic” top albums of all time or what have you.
