Greg's "My Own Personal Top 100 Albums of All Time"
Untitled — 2 years ago
You can’t use compilations. They aren’t real albums just marketing ploys. Also “Help!” but no White Album – that doesn’t make much sense.
Generally a good list though with some really great artists and alot of suprises. Very eclectic. Kudos.

Not using compilation= cutting out whole genres
I’m from the Dave Marsh school of thought: “Nobody hums albums”. Besides whole genres of music are discounted critically because their makers are, in general, focused on SINGLES rather than a cohesive album. Pop, R&B, and dance music are a couple of those.
I can’t honestly say I believe that Genesis’ NURSERY CRYME, for example, is a more worthy album listening experience than Chuck Berry’s THE GREAT 28 (which is verboten in the “no compilations” world).
As to the WHITE ALBUM, I think there’s a lot of “filler” on it. Had George Martin been allowed to trim it down to 1 disc I’d probably think it was as great as some of their other work. I believe REVOLVER to be the Fabs’ finest.
