Don't feel alone Scott, I hated limiting it to just 5 though I'd have a lot harder time putting the others in order, which is why in the first thread about this I put most out of order. It seems the moe albums the harder it is to put some arbitrary order to them (mainly because I like certain albums differently).

Hey Sax, when can we expect to see our final Top 5 of the Decade round up?
