This is update #123.
I finally talked myself into a list of twenty albums, as a vague compromise between ten and forty. So, here's a fun game for you all to try at home. I've jotted down the first line that came to mind when I thought of each album in order. This proved difficult in the case of the three that are purely instrumental, but what ho. Now for the challenge: I've taken some words out each of them, and all you have to do is fill in the blanks. It's that simple.
(bonus points for accurate answers, and even more bonus points for correct identifications!)
