My album collection is very complete without ANY Morissey, Smith's or otherwise.


I need my Michael Jackson Thriller, though.


I bet Michael Jackson really likes Morissey album covers.

Ok some from my hip hop collection

Dr Dre - The Chronic (1992)
Wu Tang Clan - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers) (1993)
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions...(1988)

The three best hip hop albums ever, and indespensible in any record collection regardless of any grievances against hip hop.
