80 Albums in 80 Days

I wrote out a massive thread to my friends asking them for their top two, must listen to albums. I have 80 days left at my job, and it takes about 50 minutes door to door each way. So I figured that is enough time to listen to one album twice through each day. Thus became the 80 albums in 80 days journey.

I will only spend a whole day on albums I have not really listened to before.
