I said maybe.....
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
The intro to Money For Nothing was my 'whoa, what's that?' moment. The Sultans solo off Alchemy was my first gurning air guitar moment (don't mock, you've all done it). Between the two of them is why I picked up a guitar in the first place.
And I know the track is on Alchemy as well, but Love Over Gold is there for the epic masterpiece that is Telegraph Road. Which, if you'd asked us for our Desert Island Discs, would be on that particular list.
(BTW, like @Moss, I put the image together at Topsters.net, which makes it a doddle.)

For example the vast majority of @Deadman 's picks are absolutely great. And then there's parklife in the middle which I utterly detest.
Similarly @MagicPigDetective who ruined his by adding Floyd :-D
Sorry fellas, only joshing. Weird how taste works though.
Showing my technical incompetence here (as usual), but how are you assembling the collages of covers?
Probably half of the albums in my Significant 25 aren't ones that I listen to regularly. They'd certainly not be in my Top or Favourite 25 today.
But when I do hear them, they have a load of associated memories of events or periods in my life that I still recognise as being "significant". They take me back to those times in much the same way that photos do for people - reawaken those memories.
Hence these would probably be my Desert Island selection because they have most meaning, rather than being my current (and likely to change) favourites.
But if you've got 50 or 60 @Philly_Q you've either had a very long life, or lots of significant events in your life that had a strong musical soundtrack
Then I imported them into Visio, resized them using the grab handles, and snapped them together. Then saved as PNG/JPG.
