Taking my cue from the other posters who have put up polls, here is my list of my top 40 albums "from the gut." I limited myself to one album per artist, and didn't try to overthink it. Honestly, the one that gave me the most heartburn was Parallel Lines vs. Eat to the Beat. I went with the former because it was such a revelation to me when it came out, even though I think the latter is the better album musically.
