In others, 1) is the best first album by an artist, 2) is the best second album by an artist, etc.
Yep, I counted live albums, and nope, I ain't swearing I counted them all correctly...

AWESOME.
Seriously good idea.
Bangs,
This is a cool list. I'll have to do some research and see how often mine would agree with yours. On #2 I probably would, although Nevermind is excellent too. #5 however would have to be Darkness on the Edge of Town by the Boss. Again, great list. Your lists are always entertaining.
Ta,
sseay
Oops, just realized that Darkness is not the 5th springsteen album but the fourth. I transposed it and the river in my catalog system.
What a great idea for a list! You have to wonder if any albums will ever replace, oh, let's say, 10 on; how many artists will even get to that many albums in the future?
I could quibble on a few of these, but why? I like most of these quite a bit...

Thanks!
I think this list challenged my counting abilities more than my artistic tastes.
Shalom, y'all!
