Some really good records there.

A lot of those would make my top 50.

I always have a problem with these kind of lists, because I don't know how to define "my top 25 records." I define that as the 25 records I'd grab if I knew I'd never be able to hear any other ones.

Yeah, i'm bad with lists too, but a top 25 all time list made it easier for me.

I still couldn't put them in any order, however.
