My 100 favourite albums, in order of preference, starting with the best. Of course, I know it's all subjective.  My knowledge of music is pretty narrow (your first clue: the oldest Dylan album here came out in 1997).  That's why I didn't call it 'the 100 best albums ever made'; this list isn’t meant to be authoritative (for that, read what I have to say about movies).
All I know is, I have really good taste.  (This last statement is not open to discussion.)
