Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by 
sethzzzzz 
All albums are included because they have affected and/or shaped my life in some way at some point. I started this list in the Summer of 2013 and a lot has changed since then. I have removed albums I now realise I included based on nostalgia and not their merit as albums; not perfect and ever changing!
