The Big Gundown
So I will start this by saying I haven't listened to most of these albums for YEARS. Only
Licensed to Ill,
Victorialand and
Gods Own Medicine (an album I only know because my Dad had it hidden away on vinyl) have been played within the last year to my recollection, so maybe this list would alter if I went through them all again. That said, I am pretty sure
The Big Gundown would be my #1. I absolutely love that album. I'd probably say the rest of that Top 4 are nailed on too, all outstanding albums.
