Top 100 Albums To Live With The Rest Of My Life

Coming up with stupid things to stress myself out with is easy.  Almost a month ago, I was talking music with a dear friend and the amount of physical media we both own entered the conversation.  When we finished, I got an idea in my head: What if I could only own 100 records the rest of my life?  To put my dilemma into perspective, at this current time, it would take me approximate 9.7 years to listen to all my records if I listened to one record every day.  No CDs.  No cassettes.  Just vinyl.  Then I began to think to myself about the ridiculousness of that amount of albums and time.  Could I just live with 100 records the rest of my life and what would they be?  I told the concept to my friend and he happily told me to fuck off with that in the nicest way possible.  Looking back, I should have told myself to fuck off because I've been working on and intensely struggling with this for a month now.  Even though I'm still questioning a few things that didn't make the cut, what I finally figured out is that I will never EVER be completely happy with this final list,  This is as close as I'm going to get.  Without further ado, my top 100 albums to live with the rest of my life.
