Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by av1976 : Best Ever Albums

Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by av1976 (2013)

This is my attempt at a list of my favorite albums of all time. I have tried to stay away from compilations, live albums, soundtracks, best of albums, etc. Depending on the mood I am in, ranks for individual entries may vary widely. There is quite a bit of music I have not been introduced to or heard enough to appear on this list, so please do not be offended if your favorite musicians are not represented here. This is a work in progress, and will continue to be updated.

Chart updated: 02/02/2013 18:39 (Created: 08/02/2011 01:34). Chart size: 100 albums.

Diverse, great range of your interest, from delta blues to alternative rock of today, classic milestones not ingored

Nice mix of regarded classic and lesser known albums. Surprised to see Wu Tang Forever as the second best hip-hop album on a chart.

That's great to see Animals there, and Robert Johnson: really good choices :) But I personally think that you underestimated The Dark Side a bit :p. Great chart otherwise!
