Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by pertbanking

I listen to a hodge-podge of genres.

This chart is basically every album that I have formed an honest opinion of; there are a little more than 100. It contains several classics that I have listened to for literally years, and it also contains some albums that I have only listened to a few times. My reasons for loving each album varies, and it feels odd to grade some albums next to others. Nonetheless, this is my best effort to rank all of them together.

I hope you find some new musical avenues here!

You've got good taste for being new to music. I like the inclusion of Jukebox the Ghost. Don't be afraid to go outside your comfort zone and you'll end up with a really nice chart.
