Comments:

Was hoping to find this list, since I don't have you handing me CDs from time to time like you did when I sat in the cube next to you.

So, did you like all these albums and you're just using the 1-5 stars to rank them against eachother? Or, do you think the 1 star albums pretty much sucked and the 3 star albums were average?
