Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by aijunk2 (2012)  

« View previous chartView next chart »

This really doesn't go in order at all. I just like to share my personal journey into the great, vast world of music. As you can see, I have a few albums that I rate low, but they are key for a reason. Like an example would be Linkin Parks' hybrid theory. I really don't like the album all that much, but it was an important step for me into the direction of good music.

OK ComputerRadiohead
Greatest album ever. Nothing wrong with, just some great, revolutionary rock from the late 90's. Thank you Radiohead for reaching a new high for expectations when it comes to making great music. You've changed the way I listen to music and for that, I thank you again. Congrats. 10/10

From Rounder89 01/13/2013 20:13
Love the chart and it is nice to see users on this site taking the time to comment on why they like the album.

However I am curious about your ratings. Just the fact that you have an album like Dark Side which you give 9.5 in the 30s and some albums in your top ten don't receive that rating. Does this mean you ranked the albums by how much you liked them, but the rating you gave to them is based not solely on your opinion, but on other factors too? If so, I respect that if not I still respect the ratings and honesty.

Hi, I would suggest not insulting people you have never met before. It wouldn't be very nice if I came onto your chart and started throwing insults about. You ought to be more kinder in future.

Really good list! I like your paragraph at the top too. Mainly because i also included Hybrid Theory for that reason, and really wasn't sure if i should of!
