Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
swedenman (2013) 
Well, here is my best shot at a top 100. It'll be changing constantly, so try not to read TOO much into the positions of each individual album, but this is a pretty accurate estimate of what my 100 favorite albums would be.
I'm slowly beginning to work on comments. I want them to be meaningful, so it may take a while, but it'll get there.

| No album has had as much of an impact upon first listen as this one. Jumping right in with the catchy bass hook of "Debaser", it is utterly impossible not to jam to this entire album. And on top of being incredibly fun, this album is full of some very wonkity (yet brilliant) compositions, most notably "Dead" (those chord changes...), "No. 13 Baby", and "Gouge Away" (one of the most haunting album closers of all time, and possibly the most flawlessly structured). Much of the lyrics are borderline meaningless, but they've got a charm that's impossible not to admire. The Pixies always had this aura about them, like they were a band that knew exactly what they were doing, and never was that more clear than on this album. A sheer masterpiece.

You find "Alabama Song" to be the best song off The Doors? I find that a) hard to believe, b) absolutely hilarious, and c) awesome (I do really like the song fyi). Great list by the way, it's full of really great stuff.
