Won't get into the "it's John's list" trap here, because SSA clearly is, but
if I were to author a list I would not include collections, 2-fers or other
variations. For me, albums are a cohesive statement, so I would treat #1 and
RC as separate items.
But for Will's "awakening", I will consider him diving into both as the
"Holy Grail". Plus, I think both make my top 5-6 and I would consider the
top 10 to be "grail"-like. :)
