Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by haleyyew (2011)  

« View previous chartView next chart »

Here's a list of albums that I like so far, I'll try to dig up more though. Recently I've been modifying this chart, as a result, a maximum of two albums per band appears except my favourite band Led Zeppelin. My taste also changed dramatically, therefore some albums' rankings were modified. The top albums on this chart are the most mesmerizing masterworks.

Chart updated: 12/16/2011 17:52 (Created: 02/20/2010 19:21). Chart size: 100 albums.

Great list, feloow Canuck! We have a fair bit in common, although I think your list is a bit short on our awesome Canadian music.

An eerily similar list. I'd love to see your thoughts on the albums. Only five I don't own. A perfect top ten. The bottom thirty or as excellent as the first. A first rate list. Thank you!
