BEYOND THE FIRST 100 ALBUMS

As of today, just one more to go on my countdown. To whet anticipation as to what album it will be, here's an idea of what # 101-200 would look like. Please note that it was cobbled together in a mad, sugar-enhanced rush, and it contains nothing I've acquired in the past year. As for positions, don't pay too much attention to each individual one. I can't really say that I value Erotica significantly higher than Electric Version, but you can bet that I pull it off the shelf a hell of lot more often than Pretzel Logic or Play.
