Mike Make's a List: 25 albums of WIN!

As with most things, this list began as a conversation over a couple beers with friends. We were reluctantly picking our top 5 favorite albums which is a difficult task when you have 15,000 songs (or 45 days of music) in your collection. After changing my pick about 5 times, I realized this was an impossible task for two reasons: The first being that I infatuate with what's new, then play it repeatedly until I can't listen to it again for 6 months. The second being my diverse taste that spans every genre and style–This makes it especially hard to choose while on hiatus from a certain type of music. Top 5's are for suckers, so I present you my 25 favorite albums potentially of all time (or until I find something better)...
