http://www.listsofbests.com/list/57346 What I would add to Robert Dimery's otherwise definitive list that I find 'essential' for a myriad of reasons, both from the time span the book covers (1955 to 2005), as well as what post-2005 albums I think will become classics over time and would find a home on such a list. These are in chronological order, and will be updated from time to time. Of course, if they were added it's title would be have to change. =P Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:46:28 GMT en-us 0 50 27 0 0 http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/933882 <div id="position">1</div><div
