Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by IDM 
Electronic music is my all time favorite genre, even though I like a lot of genres, I decided for now (at least first 40 entries) to make the chart based only on electronic music. Dont get me wrong I like music with guitars, but I LOVE TECHNO.
As my chart expands I'll add multiple genres.
For now let's discuss some electronic music.
I Believe this site has kept electronic music in the background.
New to the site, so only allowed 40 entries

Not a fan of electronic (generally), but I really like what you've done here.

Great start, I love seeing SBTRKT, M83, The Field and The Avalanches mentioned here, among many others.
I've been meaning to check out the James Blake and the Nicolas Jaar albums you've listed. Must make a note of those for again :-)

Some crackers in this chart (Underworld, Daniel Avery and Tycho especially) - but I can't believe you've got no Orbital! Check out the Stellar OM Source album from last year too if you haven't done so already. Oh, and Pantha Du Prince's Black Noise.

I look forward to seeing this once you've levelled up and can fit a few more genres in, but for the time being it's still got a lot of great electronic music in it and some of my favourite albums turn up here. Good start!
