Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by Greatest Albill 
This chart will be updated VERY SLOWLY. I'm trying to put one album per artist/band and it's sometimes tricky to choose the "best" album in a discography where great songs are disseminated all over (yes, I'm talking about YOU Depeche Mode!). Don't know if I'll reach 50 but it'll be fun to try to get there :)

I know! And not only The Beatles - went back to chart to see if I could delete some but, in the end, couldn't do it - they're just too precious!

Quite agree that we should try to limit ourselves to one album per artiste.
