Albums I rated 5.0 stars on RYM (tried to put them in order of preference but it's hard): Harmonium - Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommando Jan Dukes de Grey - Mice and Rats in the Loft Can - Tago Mago A.R. and the Machines - Echo Premiata Forneria Marconi - Per un Amico Caravan - If I Could do it all Over Again, I'd do it All Over You Yes - Close to the Edge Genesis - Foxtrot Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink Van der Graaf Generator - Still Life Van der Graaf Generator - Godbluff Genesis - Selling England by the Pound Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon King Crimson - Islands Camel - Moonmadness I rated 117 albums 4.5 stars, so picking & putting them in order will be next to impossible, I might not get around to doing them.  But those are my top 17 (haven't updated my ratings on RYM in some time so it's a bit old), somewhat guesstimated and organized in a whim.

Well you certainly have time.

Itsy, did you add mine to you "database" yet? I'm thinking of editing it. 

I've edited my list twice, I've moved a few albums up and down and I think I removed and added a couple albums.

Would it help if there were numbers next to the albums? Or does it not make a difference? Because I can add them if it does make a big difference...
