100 More Albums I Love Not On Rolling Stone's Top 500 List

Here's a sequel to my 100 Albums  that didn't make the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums List.  
Like I wrote in my first post on the RS 500, I've included Greatest Hits/Compilations, only if I think the artist's catalog is missing an essential album, and because there were no rules set that said not to include them.  Lots of 50's era albums were merely repackaged singles Best of's. This also happened a lot in the pre-70's Country music era, when albums would be packaged around a couple of hits padded out with filler.  Also, R&B acts who first came to prominence before the mid-60's fit that scenario.  Although seeing Madonna's Immaculate Collection, which came out in 1990, and Bob Marley's Legend (1984), definitely makes it tempting to add more Greatest Hits albums. And there's no Jazz albums listed, although I could have easily come up with some.  But Jazz deserves its own Top 500 list.
