Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by thestein Unknown

I only rated the albums that I own, since it's impossible for me to comment on stuff I can't listen too. Most modern music is worthless, and nearly all albums with a punk influence are better used as a urinal target. Radiohead is noise. Jimi Hendrix is overrated, as are Stevie Wonder, The Clash, and Pink Floyd. Sgt. Pepper is a child's album, though it's fun to be childish occasionally. The Rolling Stones are the world's greatest band, without a close competitor. And Elton John is the most underrated singer/musician of all time, with Van Morrison close on his tracks.
