Top 10 Greatest Music Albums
by BasedLord13 
This chart was very difficult to make for some albums were only better than others by a very slight margin. For example, I was very hard pressed between choosing Illmatic or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as the best hip-hop album made.

One of the first albums that I could fully immerse myself in while blocking out reality. Thick, layered waves of heavily manipulated guitar take over your mind and heads straight to the part of your brain that experiences emotion and can perhaps sound erotic. It's like 2 innocent young lovers making love for the first time. It's the rush of touching skin to skin and embracing someone else like your world means nothing but that person. Surreal erotic bliss. 10/10

The first hip-hop record that I fell completely in love with as well as encourage me to explore the genre further. A hazy time capsule of a young black male in early 90s New York City experiencing life in its streets. Its a timeless story of drug dealers, gang bangers, youthful recklessness, as well as celebrating life and showing that New York City is a place filled with meaningful people, places, and events. There are plenty of stories similar to this, but Nas's story telling and rapping abilities against DJ Premier's brilliant production creates a unique environment sealed by time that can never be imitated. 10/10

A cinematic film on loneliness and isolation in a world of corruption, greed for money and power, loss of freedom, government control, uncertainty, and rapidly evolving computer technology. It's all done so beautifully and gracefully though. This is because Radiohead has the outstanding talent and creativity to do so, creating a layered world of weeping guitar leads, electronic glitches, twinkling keyboards, and plenty of other sounds to create what is arguably one of the best records of the 90s. 10/10

With Pinkerton, instead of experiencing intimate and intense love like Loveless, you are on the outside looking in. This is a record for anyone who has desparately wanted to fall in love so badly that it makes them feel sick but couldn't find the means to. Jealousy, lust, voyeurism, and desparation surround this record so much that it becomes very relatable to anyone who is in the same boat. 10/10

This is what city life for the mid to late 20 something or so geeky male riddled with ADHD sounds like. It's a record of wanderlust, sexual frustration, and trying to keep your cool in social situations as well as your sanity in general. Jittering synths, schitzofrenic drum patterns, and tight pop melodies help play out each scenario. This is the sound of making a bigger deal out of things than they usually are, and it's wonderful. 10/10
