B365V2.128 - My top 100

       If you are wondering what this entry is all about, it is simply my favorite 100 albums (or CDs, or MP3 or whatever it is they are called these days) of my lifetime.  The only stipulation I put on myself is that I can only use an artist once, so if they have multiple albums that I like, only my most favorite is on the list.  The list is not a ranking, because my tastes change with my mood, so on any day any one of these could be my favorite.Besides, this will give you plenty of stuff to listen to until I get around to doing another blog.
