Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by IvanIke

Will albums disappear in the future? Hell no, we love the idea of a 45’ experience. And our beloved artists know that.

A good album fulfills two promises : excellent songs + an immersive flow.

Thus for rating an album, I start to rate all individual songs, and give to the album the average songs score. And then I add something extra for the flow.

It’s all about listening pleasure - today in 2015 – and if this list can make you discover 45’ of true happiness, well I will be very happy. That’s why we are here, right?

What did the Beatles and the Vevlet not invent? Here it is. Bryan (Ferry) and Brian (Eno) manage to create what is indeed the best ever album for me. More than 40 years after, its impact is still overwhelming : orginal, immersive, elegant, dramatic, and ... perfect. It still grows with each listening. [First added to this chart: 12/07/2014]

I've seen Connan Mockasin very unusual particularly that music video IM THE MAN THAT WILL FIND YOU not sure about his music very different think he has more popularity in the UK & Europe.

Terror Twilight by Pavement : Song by song for me this is indeed not only their swansong but also their best. Nigel Godrich did such a good job as a producer

Very good picks.
I´m surprised of "Terror Twilight" because (I like it but...)I would not say it´s one of Pavement´s best albums.
