Ranking the Albums from Top to Bottom

Intro: I don't have a Top 10 with Alice, I (currently) have a Fab 14 - 14 albums I absolutely treasure and can listen to anytime, anywhere, no matter my mood. After that? #15 to 21 are releases I really enjoy; then it starts to get shaky - that said, there are still loads of goodies within those LPs. 

Also, highly respected works -books, painting, film, music- are respected for a reason, so I won't play the iconoclast with the first 5, though my order is a little different. Objectively, I think B$B is perfection in all areas, subjectively, the top 3 are more meaningful to me, they evoke a lot of happy memories, and good feelings, in addition to being brilliant LPs.

2. Love it to Death (1971)
