No, not interested in debating John's methodology, actually interested in folks' opinions on the list. It's become standard to speak about these as one, because that is how they are available today. But I want to know what people think about the records individually.

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. :)
