Josh's Top 50 Favorite Full-Length Albums Of All Time

Larger version here:  http://top50.topsters.net/?id=0c644411e1280317a27f54fb1ab4adec

I'm not 100% happy with this list since I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, but oh well.  These albums (FULL LENGTHS ONLY!) are categorized by both how emotionally-attached I am to each, and how good I think each album is.  As an example:  I realize that Lamb Of God's Ashes Of The Wake is not actually a better album than Boston's self-titled, Septic Flesh's Communion, or Between The Buried And Me's Colors, but since Ashes is an all-time classic by most metrics AND it basically got me into heavy/death metal in the first place, it's more near-and-dear to my heart and therefore got ranked higher.
