Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
astelioeswills (2012) 
I have finally gotten around to writing some notes for this chart. In my chart, I tried to keep a balance between the personal and idiosyncratic versus universal appeal. So other members can not only find unusual picks that they may never of heard of, but also see how I think those picks compare to albums that are more universally adored (Pet Sounds, i am talking about you). I hope this makes the chart useful and interesting to others.
It was important to me to include classical recordings and jazz recordings as well as pop/rock. I believe music is music (like Leonard Bernstein said)and I hope that their are many other people like me who find no contradiction between listening to Bach, or the Stones, or Chet Baker, or the Pixies, or Shostakovich. Obviously, i kept the number of classical and jazz recordings to a minimum because if I included all that I adore, they would have crowded out the Pop records and thus defeated the purpose of creating a dialogue with others.

| Obviously i am biased- I love Nick Cave's entire career, though some parts of his discography are prickly and difficult. But this phase of his career and this album in particular is transcendent genius. I am shocked that this album is not on every music fans top 50. | |||||||||||||||||||||

After a while a lot of charts on BEA start to look the same......... yours doesn't. Great variety and a lot of albums I love. Nick Cave is the most consistent songwriter of the last 25 years for my money. I think the problem is his albums are so consistently good that they split the vote.

Tremendous chart. The only one with the Flatlanders' More A Legend, and I'm sure one of only a few with Dylan's Self Portrait. Great mix.
