Music Collection Run-through

This whole thing started when I saw a book called "1000 Albums You Must Listen to Before You Die", so I started thinking how long that would take. So on May 30th I started going through all of my music collection, in alphabetical order by album name (I thought that would be the best way to help the run through have more variety as I went along)
