Eat Shit, Bob! A seventh Rolling Stones album in place of Fiona Apple?! How dare you. 1001 albums shouldn't be left up to one silly little British man. How about an American woman? This is my own list, made up of the original, the user list, and whatever else I deem noteworthy. Always in progress.

Worth Relistening In Full Can be new discoveries or albums I already knew, but must be something that I've felt compelled to sit down with the full album again. Intention is to collect all-timer 5s (as opposed to respect 5s) and "4.5"-level albums that left an impression on me. No particular order

New Jersey, the greatest country in the world. Two criteria for this list: 1. Albums from artists who were born or resided in the greatest country in the world: New Jersey. 2. Albums that were recorded in New Jersey. An appearance on this list does not denote quality, only association with New Jersey (looking at you, Bon Jovi)

Suck These records suck. 3/10 or less. Am I glad they suck? Of course not. Leonard Cohen sucks so bad that his records push The Bee Gees out of the 4-album list thumbnail.

Metal on Da List Because I'm annoyed how little metal is on the list, I want to see them all with each other (and taking out the albums that are labeled metal erroneously. Its not a value judgment on those albums, I loved Dirt, Opus Dei, and Back to Mystery City; but they just are not metal albums)
