My Top 100 Albums of All Time

In time I will include more links to the artists in question and perhaps explain why I've chosen each individual album. This page is a continuous work in progress and I reserve the right to alter my preferences entirely, at any instant and for no apparent reasons. If there is anybody out there with similar tastes, then please do feel free to email me.
