Brian's 30 Desert Island Disc's

These are my 30 favorite CD's of all time. I know 30 sounds like a lot, but when you're choosing 30 out of 3000 it's pretty tough. Especially once you get down to 200 and less. I was going to disqualify all greatest hits compilations, but I realized I never would have figured it out if I had. This list was finally taken down to 30 from 100. The problem is it doesn't contain anything from 1995 or beyond so I know there will be other changes soon. It hasn't been updated in quite some time.
