Sorry.  I refuse to make a ranking like this, for two reasons:

1)  My ranking of the albums changes on a daily, if not hourly,
basis, as I listen to them.  When I'm not listening to _Lionheart_,
for example, I tend to rate it kind of low.  (Sorry, Larry!)
Yet, when I am listening to it, I realize that it's full of
all these great songs: "Wow", "Don't Push. . .", "Oh England. . .",
"Kashka. . .", "Hammer Horror", etc.  How could I call this album
anything other than brilliant?
    Each album has wonderful songs.  What more could I want?

2)  I don't want to offend people whose ranking order is different
from mine.
