Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by sonicsoundchaser

Nice one mate love your chart see the boo album giant steps at number one just love it got it in my top 50. You have a good mix of albums on some i've heard and some not. I've tried to do good mix on mine and not just put Dylan,Bowie,Stones and Floyd altho i love them all. The albums i have listed are ones that i could put on today and just loose my self as if i was reading a good book or watching a good film. Giant steps i got when it came out in 1993 and from i hang suspended nothing else maters just that record all the stress at work is forgotten just awesome.

Some of your choices are new to the site, but a lot of them aren't. Click on the titles. Take a semi-obscure one like the Gun Club, for example. I think five other people have that on their chart. Anyways, if you're a huge music fan,you'll find a lot of like-minded souls on here. Check out people's charts and visit the forums and who knows? You may yet discover an album or artist you didn't know about. Welcome to Best Ever Albums!

You raise an interesting point and there are a lot of albums that come up again and again on charts; one could argue that that's because certain albums affect multiple people profoundly or that people are swayed by critical opinion. Probably both are true to some extent. But I also think you're making a generalization. There are several members who have very unique charts. Dig deeper. One way to do this is to click on the album title of one of your "unique" picks and see which other members have that album on their list. I guarantee you most of these appear on other lists. By the way, some people have unique charts that are also really bad lol. As for your chart, I've heard and own about half of them and personally, although Giant Steps, Mezcal Head, Perfect from Now On, and Either/Or are all solid, enjoyable albums, they don't make it to the upper echelon for me personally. And yeah, I know SF Sorrow preceded Tommy as the first rock opera. I had it on CD for a while, and eventually decided it wasn't that great. When you make a statement about being original or true to oneself in your intro,it might make people think your chart is contrived--something to think about.
