35. I'll second Sgt. Pepper's ...

I grew up in the 1960s and bought every Beatles album that came out except Revolver because I wasn't able to come up with the three dollars that it cost. Three dollars was a LOT of money for me at the time because I had no source of income except the fifty cents a week allowance my father gave me. But somehow I managed to come up with the three dollars to buy all the others, and in 1967 at age 17 I started working at a greasy spoon and had a little of my own money then. I still have those old Beatles albums I bought then. Yes, I know they would be worth a lot of money now if they were in good shape, but they're not in good shape. Sgt. Pepper's is the only one that I actually wore out, and I mean THOROUGHLY wore out, and sometime in the 1980s I had to buy another copy. I repeat, it's the ONLY record album I've ever worn out to the point where I had to buy another copy of it. And as I recall, at sometime in the past two or three decades it was voted the best album of all time.
