John Mann's Top 200 Albums
Please note I have come to the conclusion I can't put this list in any particular order!
Well this started as a top 100 and got bigger, although I haven't decided on an actual 200 yet and some groups I can't decide on a specific album (perhaps I ought to have a top 100 groups). I have also tried to include classics - I was thinking of simply randomly generating the order the albums appeared in, as any one of these albums could be number one (one of the criteria was that any album I included I should feel happy putting at number one, therefore I couldn't choose an album which was pretty good but not great).
