Wow. I have actually payed money for 31 of these. Surprising.

Those are the ones I have. Some of your choices are odd - why those Stooges albums, but no Fun House? Why only those Radiohead albums, when others are just as popular/high selling?

I bet other people would come up with a different 100 albums to start from. I second Sketch's idear to use the listmania results - but even that might not list all the mediocre albums that we all probably own - Jagged Little Pill, maybe?

i own [purchased the actual cd's] the following....

1. afghan whigs - gentlemen
2. beach boys - pet sounds

sorry 'rain dogs' has been replaced with the verve's 'urban hymns'

the idea is to list albums you actually own in a purchased format....so d/l's would be okay if they are from itunes or any pay-to-download format....

I have 32 of em.

Well according to the CMJ Listmania the most commonly owned and loved album is London Calling.

Jesus, on cd and mp3 I've got 83 of those listed, (63 on cd).

39%. Of these, I regularly listen to maybe 20.
