Top 50 Greatest Music Albums

These are the albums that blew me away when I heard them. This chart replaces the one with the albums I would keep if I could only have 50. So, the new chart is the 50 albums that have really influenced my musical tastes. They are listed in the order of the date I first heard them (not necessarily the year they were released).
- Chart updated: 04/17/2010 13:46

- Chart size: 50 albums.

Your top 10 is really confusing... and Dub Side Of The Moon, but no Pink Floyd? Bah. Not my kind of chart.
