Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by ToastedStolens 
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.

My personal favorite upbeat/dance album. Throw it on when you're bored. Or playing a horror game at night and want to absolutely violate the mood. If you like this, check out literally any other dance group.

This album is not for the feint of heart. Extremely long, extremely heavy (lik ur mom lol jk <3), and very, very unique. You'll love it or hate it, but by all means try it. Truly brilliant stuff in here. If you like this, check out "Slint".

Yep, it's the obligatory Daft Punk entry. They're still good, but this is when they were the best. They're French too. If you like this, check out "Phoenix".

A solid rock album with stuff you've heard and stuff you haven't. Filled with infectiously good guitar riffs. It's like a good form of HIV with guitar. If you like this, check out "The Black Keys".

My personal favorite rap album, it just goes to show what happens when two brilliant dudes make an album that goes untouched by major record labels. Actually intelligent lyrics are refreshingly organic in a rap album. If you like this, check out "MF DOOM".

The greatest alternative/indie album of all time. It is absolutely brilliant. My personal second favorite album to come out in my lifetime. If you like this, check out "Wilco".

You've probably heard it, but listen to it again. It's awesome stuff. If you like this, check out more Jack Johnson, he's awesome.

It's a modern classic, give it a listen. You've already heard a lot of the tracks, but there's also a lot of great not-so-popular stuff on here as well. If you like this, check out more stuff by them.

My personal favorite pop album, filled with tons of catchy hooks and psychedelic brilliance. The lyrics heavily parody the homogenous, formulaic machine the modern pop industry has become... I think. If you like this, check out "Passion Pit".

Yeezus is the better album, but we've already been through that. This is a bit lighter on the mixing and production, but still great nonetheless. If you like this, check out "Dr. Dre".
