My Favorite 30 Albums of All-Time

Artists appear only once in the list. My Top 30 albums, along with my favorite tune on the album. In no particular order, except Guster is easily the best of all albums and groups. I reserve the right to change this list at any time… because I know I’ll think of replacements and omissions. Sure, The Beatles rock... so does KISS, but they just did not make my list.
