Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by ToastedStolens Unknown

For Normy-Poo, my one true second love. The albums are just sorted by release date, and I lovingly put some notes on each one. This will keep you busy for a while. Probably. The albums are purposely extremely varied, ranging from all time classics to the most underground indie. It's designed to find specific genres or elements you might like, so play along and you'll wind up more educated musically. <3, babby.

If you said you like some Smiths stuff, here's where you start. Complete transparency here, I'm not a huge fan of it, but you might be. You might be a hermaphrodite too. Might be. If you like this, check out "The Stone Roses". [First added to this chart: 03/16/2014]

It's really good. Damn good damn good good damn damn good damn... good. Check it out. When I come to power and purge the 80's from all of society, this is all that shall remain. If you like this, check out "Pavement". [First added to this chart: 03/16/2014]

Sort of the opposite end of the spectrum of shoegaze from My Bloody Valentine, this album is extremely chill, but not stoner chill, know what I mean? Of course not, listen to find out. One of my top-10 favorites. If you like this, check out "The Bilinda Butchers". [First added to this chart: 03/16/2014]
