Dr. Yo's Top 50 Favorite Albums of All Time
by dr. yo
My main criterion is the solidity of the album as a whole. If half of the tracks are awesome and the other half are so-so, then it doesn't make the cut.
It was hard to come up with this. I didn't include anything that is less than ten years old, because I think stuff should stand the test of time.
