Top 80 Greatest Music Albums by 
OldToad 
Not to be taken too literally, and still under construction. I'm only putting the 1955 - 1985 (the LP era) part of my collection on this site, so nothing outside that time frame is included. Alice Coltrane's 1978 album Transfiguration would be at #20, but it is not listed on this site.
