Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by billman 
These are albums that connect with me and move me on a deep level - when I listen to them, they take me some place else. That's my primary criteria for inclusion.
As pointed out, this is an "odd conglomeration" - I wish I could figure out how to retitle my chart that way!

Love your chart. Very eclectic.
I would be interested to see your own comments on these albums.
I too am a big fan of The Plateaux of Mirror.
I have an almost complete collection of both Budd and Eno and I view this principally as a Harold Budd album.
It's him playing the keys.
