Top 45 Greatest Music Albums
by cubsmodano 
This list is my best attempt (edited often) of organizing a list that represents my favorite albums as well the ones I feel are the best historically. As a result, some bands are listed higher and more often on here than would ever be on a "critic's" list. At the same time, there are certain artists I don't enjoy listening to and thus do not make the list at all (for all the accolades, Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan are two artists I have never enjoyed despite numerous attempts). Hope you enjoy it.
