Some Of My Favorite Albums

Here is a list of some of my personal favorite albums.
Now there are plenty of these best of list out there and I am finding that they are pretty predictable. Of course that’s not surprising because a large percentage of the albums that keep turning up on these lists are, of course, classics, and deserve to be there. But, of course, most of them are the big sellers, with a few critically acclaimed classics that didn’t sell so well included because they also deserve to be there.This list I am posting is of the lesser known of my favorites. There will still be some in my list that are in the big list, but these are just too good not to be here in my list. I am going to avoid, in this list, most of the big guns, because they are so obvious. So there will be no Zep, Sabbath, Stones, Beatles, U2, Doors, etc… Also this list in not in any particular order, and it is not definitive as I’m sure to have forgotten something from my large collection. I am just listing the ones that occur to me now. So here goes The Roddus Alternative (sort of) top 100
