Top 41 Greatest Music Albums
by dazedandconfuzd 
I am admittedly biased toward music by Seattle bands in the 1990's, what most call grunge. Most of the great grunge came out while I was in high school in the Seattle area, what else would you expect? British bands also have a special place in my heart, particularly the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

Hey, what's wrong with a little variety? Lady Gaga has some really good stuff, although it's different.

Most of this is pretty good, but there's really no excuse for having Lady Gaga on your list.
