Anya's Top 25 Albums for The Album Project

Anya's contribution to The Album Project.

I refuse to put them in any particular order (though the order is probably somewhat telling), I purposely excluded soundtracks, classical favorites and compilations to make it easier for myself, but some "best of" collections were included when a single album by that artist could not be settled upon. That being said, I am sure I forgot something, but these are all albums I frequently listen to over and over from beginning to end.

1. Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True
2. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables
3. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
4. The Beatles - Rubber Soul
5. NOFX - The Greatest Songs Ever Written (by Us)
6. They Might Be Giants Apollo 18
7. Pixies - Doolittle
8. The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls
9. The Clash - Sandinista!
10. Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
11. Fiona Apple - Tidal
12. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
13. The Stereo - Three Hundred
14. Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prision
15. Alkaline Trio - From Here to Infirmary
16. Pixies - Surfer Rosa
17. The Roots - Do You Want More?!!!??!
18. Say Anything - ...Is A Real Boy/...Was A Real Boy
19. Paul Simon - Graceland
20. Weezer - Pinkerton
21. Parliament - Give Up The Funk
22. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Don't Know How To
Party
23. Harry Chapin - Portrait Gallery
24. The Cure - Greatest Hits
25. John Lee Hooker - Chill Out

For some reason 25 was a difficult number, I felt like 20 or 30 would have been easier... weird.

Thanks for everyone who has provided a list and I am looking forward to a lot more!
