Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by courtesyflush83 
1 album per album to keep it from being stagnant and repetitive.
this is in order.
*if I could, I would easily place the swans here. Not sure which album by theirs, maybe the seer, soundtrack for the blind or white light from the mouth of infinity. I would of also added Brian Enos' Music for Airports. Ran out of space. A few more albums that would of made it on the list easily but I couldn't due to space is Emergency Third Rail Power Trip by Rain Parade and 1/2 Gentlemen/Not Beast by Half Japanese.
I guess this is my chance to take a shot on the terrible rating system i've found on here by users. Gotta keep in mind this image people http://i.imgur.com/1he2Jbi.png
