A list of albums I happen to own.

Amongst the about-me-page, the photo-of-me, and other such nonsense people post to the internet, the list-of-albums-I-own is one of the things I (and, considering the lack of entropy amongst us humans, probably most everybody) obsessively look at.

So here is mine. It is as complete as I care to make it.
