1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles - Yesterday. My favorite album of all time so far, which isn't fun to admit because the album is so overrated but if I'm being honest I have to go with it (my favorite for simple enjoyment but I consider Revolver to be a better album...)
2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys - A little more than a month ago?
3. Revolver - The Beatles - Two days ago.
4. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan - A couple of weeks ago. I'm only just getting into Bob Dylan.
5. Rubber Soul - The Beatles - Sometime in the last week.
6. What's Going On - Marvin Gaye - Within the past month.
7. Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones - Within the past week but like Bob Dylan, I've only starting listening to the Stones recently.
8. London Calling - The Clash - A couple of months ago. I've been looking for a copy on vinyl and I've been busy with Sandinista!
9. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan - A couple of weeks ago.
10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles - Listening to it right now.
11. The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley - Never listened to.
12. Kind of Blue - Miles Davis - Little more than a month ago, I believe.
13. Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground A week and a half ago.
14. Abbey Road - The Beatles - In the past week.
15. Are You Experienced? - The Jimi Hendrix Experience A couple of weeks ago.
16. Blood on the Tracks - Bob Dylan - Never listened to.
17. Nevermind - Nirvana - A little less than a month ago. It didn't do a whole lot for me.
18. Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen - Never listened to all the way through.
19. Astral Weeks - Van Morrison - Never listened.
20. Thriller - Michael Jackson - Never listened!
21. The Great Twenty-Eight - Chuck Berry - NEVER LISTENED!
22. Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon - A few weeks ago.
23. Innervisions - Stevie Wonder - Never listened.
24. Live at the Apollo - James Brown - Never listened.
25. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac - I want to say sometime within in the past two months, but maybe I didn't listen to the entire thing.
26. The Joshua Tree - U2 - Never.
27. King of the Delta Blues Singers, Vol. 1 - Robert Johnson - Haven't heard.
28. Who's Next - The Who Have a copy sitting in my room, waiting to be heard for the first time.
29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin - A couple of days ago.
30. Blue - Joni Mitchell - Never listened to before.
So I think I'm a person who seemingly slides in perfectly with the greatest albums lists we see so often. I have no idea if that will continue or not, but it's obviously true at this point! My tastes are still settling, which is probably a factor in why I'm listening to these usually critically acclaimed albums. If I heard an album is really great over and over again, I'm more likely to try out said album before another album, lesser acclaimed album.
