WM's 100 Most Important Albums

These are the albums that matter most to me. They are the ones I love and enjoy and go back to every time.
The list is in no particular order, except #100. It is the first record I ever bought. I was 11 years old and played it over and over again. It got me into music. It was a sort of gateway drug. A starting point. Although I don't listen to it anymore, it had to be on the list.
