greatest hits collection of singles kind of defeats the purpose of listing "albums".

Stefen

Aside from that, I think your list is good. Alot of albums I enjoy on that list particularly Harvest. I would have left off Coldplay cause I feel they are a product of not having any good popular smart music nowadays so the next best thing will do, but I like your list. I feel the same way about Elton John. I like him but not enough to buy entire albums, his greatest hits is enough for me. Has it all in one package but it really can't be considered a favorite album, ya know?
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

Finn

the greatest hits stuff is because they've done a lot of great songs but they weren't on just one "album". so the greatest hits thing kinda works. besides there was no rule you couldn't have a compliation of greatest hits on your list so why not

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.
