# 22 – ALLMAN BROTHERS – Live At Fillmore East
# 21 – THE BEACH BOYS – Pet Sounds

All I can say is that I wish I could stream music at work, cuz they played so many good albums today. I would have loved to hear what they said about Grace. I know that people responded to it quite positively on the boards.
I was really surprised to see August and Everything After in the top 25. I like the Counting Crows, and this album was great, but how did it get so high? I guess it's one of the things that make a countdown like this, as voted on by xpn listeners, this interesting.
Also quite happy to see that Pet Sounds on the list. Beach Boys, represent!
My top 5 prediction:
5. Blood on the tracks
4. Revolver
3. Born to Run
2. Highway 61 revisited
1. Sgt. Pepper
A lot of people thing Born to Run will hit at 1, considering that Bruce is a native son to the listening public here. However, I'm gonna stick with Sgt. Pepper.
