Cool. Hope you'll enjoy it.
 
The lyrics are brilliant and also pretty poignant, but I guess you'll have to take my word for it - though Fiori's voice does a great job at conveying the emotion.
 
There's a sense of alienation in there that's even more remarkable in retrospect, considering Fiori very fragile mental health. He's been living as a recluse for the longest time now. He did attempt to resurface for the release of a biographic book recently, but cancelled everything due to his issues. 
 
Not totally Syd Barrett, but not unlike him...

I currently have 65.  Some of those I have more than one version of (e.g., original & remaster or reissue), some I have as part of a larger box set (the lazy way to get multiple albums), some are still on my "wish list" and a few fall into the "Who the heck wants this crap???" category (like Jay-Z).
 
 
Oh yeah, and a few I had forgotten about or had never heard of (and will need to check out).  Thanks for posting this Steve!

The BluePrint is easily his best album. Hasn't quite been the same really. At that point in his career he was invincible and was in the Roc's Glory Years before the Nas beefs, before Kanye was really rapping and before the Beanie fall out. You may not like Rap, but I'd say listen to the Jay Z Unplugged album. Tons of songs from that album and backed by the legendary Roots. By far my favorite Jay era, followed by the 94-97 era.
 
Its an Ok list overall though, I have only heard a handful through so now I'm off to listen to more over the weekend.

These lists are great for stirring convo and  expect that is the intent, but there is no way something like this could come close to general consensus.  For starters, it would be better titled "The Best 100 Mainstream Rock Albums of All Time (with a splatter of non-rock for giggles just to say we did).  Even then, it would still generate plenty of passionate disagreement.  The big fans of {insert sub-genre of rock here] are going to feel slighted.  So, imagine how [insert every genre from Zydeco to Gospel] must feel? For me, the most awesome album ever is a Charlie Brown Christmas and I don't care if anybody shares my sentiment. My list would not come close to matching anyone's and that's ok too.  Howe many of you would include Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires? I would just on title alone.  The premise is fun and silly at the same time just like People's 50 most beautiful people.  Every year I wonder why the list is not almos tidentical since change would mean the 50 from last year got uglier.

I own 24, including a few I forgot I owned until I saw this list.  I have Massive Attack's Blue Lines and to me it aged much less wall than Mezzanine. I never listen to it now because it sounds horribly dated like the countless groups that were ironically imitating them. Victim of their own success like Portishead.

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Wow. I love that album. I got the set packaged with A Saucerful of Secrets.
 
I've got a lot more stuff from the lists that you guys have compiled than what is on the list from the book.
No mention of Allman Brothers Live at Filmore East yet?

Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Wow. I love that album. I got the set packaged with A Saucerful of Secrets.
 

A Nice Pair, is it? Had I thought of it, I'd have included it as a two for one. :)
 
I love Saucerful as well, but it's more of a Pink Floyd album - when you listen to Set the Controls or Let There be More Light,  it makes more sense that this was the band that would go on to write Echoes and then DSOTM... So I always feel like Piper deserves a special spot. 
 
The first singles are also among my favorite records ever. 
 

Indeed it was. And you're right. The two had distinctly different flavors. Saucerful set the tone for where they were going, but Piper had a very appealing raw quality to it.
I've always liked Bike. It's really kind of a silly song, but it's just kind of fun. Lucifer Sam, Scarecrow, See Emily Play. It's hard to believe they went from this to what we now recognize as Pink Floyd.
Another band whose evolution I enjoyed was The Police.
Synchronicity was a far stretch from Outlandos D'Amour, but listening album by album, you could hear the direction being established.
I liked all of them, but Ghost in the Machine is my overall favorite from them.

FWIW, I've always considered that THE 100 Best albums of all time were not necessarily my 100 favorites, and that some of the things that are at the top of my list just don't belong on there.
 

I think most people sort of equate best with favorite but as you say its not the same thing. My list is based on my favourites. Then again  "best" is so subjective anyway. as several people have pointed out it's not the list itself but the discusions around the list that are intresting.
 
How did I comple mine so quickley.  I went through the Albums on my iPod and listed about 70, then whittled them down to 50. Many of the 20 I removed have come up on other lists.
 
 

I didn't post it, but I was thinking along those same lines and even was considering starting another thread entitled "Favorite Albums" to remove the need for a specific number and that stupid "of All Time" qualifier.  To me, if everyone included an album that they didn't like just because they thought it was significant, that wouldn't help me find music I didn't know about that I may like to hear!
 
I didn't go forward with it (the new thread) because I realized the type/genre/classification/etc. qualifer was needed or you really couldn't compare things well (I mean, how could you possibly compare the Beatles' Abbey Road to, say, Paul Oakenfold's Cream Fields?).  It's like contrasting Muhammed Ali with Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan and Nikoli Tesla.  Each is better evaluated with others in their fields or groupings.
 
Obviously, I've got selfish reasons for this in addition to provoking interesting conversation.  If I see someone make a list with a lot of albums I also enjoy, then you can bet I'm going to check out anything on there that I haven't heard before!

Yes, favorite albums makes a lot more sense than "Best of all time".
