Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by revolver94 (2013)  

« View previous chartView next chart »

I was truly introduced to music when I discovered the Beatles in the summer of 2010. A year after that, I actually began to expand my musical horizons. Since then, I've been trying to immerse myself in the best that the music world has to offer. Because it's only been a few years, I'm not as well listened as I would like to be, but I still think I have fairly distinguished taste. There are a mix of "best album" and "favorite album" charts on this site. Mine probably falls somewhere in between those descriptors, but more towards the latter. That being said, the top 25 or so I consider perfect.

My favorite songs of all time are: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/petsounds94/top_songs_of_all_time/

Haha, I actually don't have those three on my chart but there are other reasons that would make me give myself a 100 though.

If in only three years you have listened to all those albums, I'm impressed. I'm checking out Liz Phair, which I had no idea of her existance. Great chart

For someone who got into music in 2010, this is a great chart with a lot of deep picks, even if many of the albums are the standard picks from each artist. I never understand why everyone picks Skylarking, Psychocandy and Yerself is Steam. Each of those artists has a couple other albums that are just as good if not better.

I love how you did your notes for the first 20 albums on here, and it has a few of my favourites, plus plenty I haven't heard yet. Seems like a very well thought out chart, with lots of diversity.
