There's no rule against it, just seems tired to me.

I'm not saying fill it up with the usual banter of a usual best of list, but it shouldn't just be stuff not many people have heard of for the sake of it.

I wouldn't want it to ever be the kind of thread where people are hesitant to post albums that aren't obscure enough, but on the other hand there are some albums that every music fan already knows you need to hear before you die, so what are the benefits of posting them? Fine line.
I don't think this needs to be that complicated though, sorry if I made it so.

It's not a greatest albums list, it's a list of albums people should hear that maybe they wouldn't otherwise.

Fair enough, I just didn't know that.

It is for sure I don't want to litter the list with that stuff, and I'm guessing you were talking about the Black Sabbath inclusion?

I guess that was what inspired my post, yeah.

I think it fits perfectly, though--having a lesser-known album by a super-famous group. It would be like throwing Help!, Magical Mystery Tour, or Let It Be on for the Beatles.

Rubber Soul too! I hate Let It Be though, never return to that one.

The naked version is much better, especially Long and Winding Road and Across the Universe. It's a completely different album.
