Top 30 Greatest Music Albums
by sonnysideup 
May have missed a few
probably either one of "freewhelin.." or "the times they are-a changin" should be at the bottom of the list but couldn't figure out which was better so i put born to run, which i must admit i don't have the cd but two of my top 20 songs of alltime "jungleland" and "thunder road" are there so that's a bit of an assumption...
also i'm missing one album that got deleted when uploading
