Top 39 Greatest Music Albums
by boozm 
The greatest albums from the perspective of someone who listens to mostly current music but has also spent a lot of time with older artists and albums as well. I tend to steer clear of universally agreed upon classics..
Please note my song picks if you're interested in checking any of it out.
And please feel free to leave a comment.
Thanks.

Great choices but it's only a start. Some albums like Divine Fits, Transference and even Celebration Rock (all of which I really like. Check my decade charts) can not seriously be considered among the best ever. Keep listening and adding, though!
