I considered almost 200 total albums when compiling my rankings of my favorite 100. The further you get from the top, the harder it is to distinguish between them. It’s a lot easier to decide between album #4 and #5 than it is between album #92 and #93. So it’s definitely an inexact science. The following are the albums that just missed the top 100. I have them ranked 101-130, but at this point, they are fairly interchangeable, so don’t pay too much attention to where they are ranked.
101. Hallelujah in My Heart – Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
102. King’s Gold 2 – Gold City & Kingsmen
103. A Tribute to the Cathedral Quartet – Ernie Haase & Signature Sound
104. A Few Good Men – Gaither Vocal Band
105. The Only Way – Greater Vision
106. Heaven’s Joy Awaits – Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver

128. I Heard the Angels Singing – Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
129. Sounds of Sunday – Dixie Echoes

It may surprise you to learn that that Booth Brothers album (#125) is the highest in my rankings for them. The following groups didn’t have a single album make my top 100, or these that just missed, despite making up a good portion of my music collection: Blackwood Brothers, Brian Free & Assurance, Dixie Melody Boys, Dove Brothers, Florida Boys, Happy Goodmans, Hinsons, Hoppers, Imperials, Isaacs, Jeff & Sheri Easter, Karen Peck & New River, Martins, McKameys, Nelons, Perfect Heart, Poet Voices, Primitive Quartet, Statesmen, Talley Trio, Talleys, Triumphant Quartet.
The top 100 is comprised entirely of 19 groups, and 10 of those have 3 or less albums represented. The other 9 groups (you can reasonably infer these are my 9 favorite groups of all time) make up 83 of the top 100. Tomorrow, the countdown begins!
