I can't help but feel sad for all these albums at the 26th place.

I will have a crack at this too. No repeat artists which I think is a nice touch from spenno

No order.

Let it be - replacements
Yankee hotel foxtrot - wilco
Wowed zowee - pavement
Do Dallas - mclusky
Yield - pearl jam
Wires - art of fighting
Midnight organ fight - frightened rabbit
Doolittle - pixies
Bakesale - sebadoh
Beggars banquet - stones
jimmywine majestic - red red meat
() - sigur ros
There is nothing wrong with love - built to spill
Hi fi way - you am I
Axis - Hendrix
If you're feeling sinister - belle and Sebastian
Low - Bowie
In the aeroplane - neutral milk hotel
Bee thousand - guided by voices
Things we lost in the fire - low
Ghosts of the great highway - sun kil moon
The glow pt 2 - the microphones
This is a long drive... - modest mouse
Boxer - the national
Ladies and gentlemen - spiritualized

That took 15 minutes, I fear that is not long enough for such a thread.. Anyways, this is what came out
