Narrowing down my album list to seven is extremely hard and makes me sad for the albums I slighted. In alphabetical order:

1. Dire Straits “Brothers in Arms”
2. Genesis “Genesis”
3. Jimi Hendrix “Electric Ladyland”
4. Led Zeppelin “II”
5. Pearl Jam “Ten”
6. Peter Gabriel “So”
7. SRV “Couldn’t Stand the Weather”

I need another dozen when my mood changes five minutes from now.
