Is it really possible to list ones top 10 albums? Perhaps one could compile a list for the immediate moment, but say in another minute, one could listen to a new album, or dust off an old album and change their mind.

Furthermore, isnt it ridiculous to list in numerical order one's favorite albums? How can one favorite album be better than another?
