With the end of term exams out of the way I can afford to spend a little time on what I think are the best albums ever. Forget the winamp randomizer. That only does mere tracks anyway. And there's always room for an extra list on the web. So here goes... One album per artist only (argh) and none of those three-and-a-half-nice-tracks-jobs either. Thirty real killer albums!
