I realized I have most of the Top 20, but barely any from the bottom 20. That's where I need to fill in gaps.

I just remembered, I have 'Remain In Light' on vinyl. Maybe I should actually listen to the whole thing one day. hmmm Nevertheless, I own it so it counts. razz

I used to own 'The Queen Is Dead' but either gave it away or sold it. That might have been a mistake methinks.

I also used to have 'Licensed to Ill' and 'Dare' on vinyl, but sold those on ebay. I need to get the 'Dare' remastered CD. 'Licensed To Ill' I can do without. barf

I don't like that album at all.

'Paul's Boutique' on the other hand is in my opinion one of the top five rap albums ever. thumbs up!
