Is this the same Doug Alan or just one of those practical jokers?  The
Beatles in the same sentence as Kate Bush!?!  One of your three
favorites?!?!?  Is this the same person who said he hated rock 'n
roll and preferred to listen to music in a dark room with head phones?

As a side note to the posted "top" albums, I'd say that many people
vote for more recent stuff, music more in the current framework of today
and therefore the poll is slightly skewed in that direction.  It
would be interesting (and probably impossible) to conduct a
similar poll to take the "time" out of the album and see which
stand up to all time periods.  On the other hand some albums are
great because of their time period in a trend-setting sort of way.

Its also interesting to note that after glancing through the list
only about half of my own picks were chosen by others too.  I
basically restricted myself to one album per artist, yet I think
the Pink Floyd/Kate Bush skew of the poll tells me that others did
not do this as well.  I rationalized my actions by thinking that
say the Dead have earned a spot although I might listen to a certain
Lou Reed album more often than any single Dead album.

To KB fans:  BCN's Ken Shelton just played Wuthering Heights, the
first time I had heard it in years.  I for one am glad she's
dropped the falsetto.

To GD fans:  I got my tickets for the Worcester Centrum today.  See
you there.

To Music fans:  Dire Straits tomorrow night in Providence.
