Ik vond het ontzettend moeilijk om deze lijst samen te stellen. Het zijn in elk geval allemaal albums die ik 4 tot 5 sterren zou geven en tot ongeveer de top 30 vind ik alles gewoon helemaal geniaal. Er ontbreekt nog een behoorlijk aantal albums dat ik er graag in had gezet, maar die vallen dan net buiten de boot. En ik heb de afgelopen dagen weer een hoop nieuw spul gekocht en daar zouden waarschijnlijk ook wel weer wat albums van in deze top 100 terecht kunnen komen. Oftewel, deze lijst is aan zware veranderingen onderhevig. Maar al met al ben ik er wel tevreden over
