40 Comfort Food Albums
Another "list" from Facebook, this was a great deal of fun. Hopefully you guys will join in.
Here are the rules. List your 40 favorite albums at this moment. Albums
that make you happy and that you go back to again and again, regardless
of if other people think they're cool or one of the best of all time.
You CANNOT list compilations or soundtracks. You can only list one
album per artist. Try to list them in one sitting... don't ruminate on
them too long, don't over think this. DO IT QUICKLY!
Once you've made your list, post it here in the comments
