Top 84 Greatest Music Albums
by 
nrs182 
This chart isn't about music influence, innovation or any historical relevance (though sometimes to decide the order I used relevance as guidance). It isn't about what music should be, this are only my favorite albums, the ones that have spoke to me, the ones that have special personal value. I'm aware there are better records than these ones here and there are 3 reasons for that: 1. I got into music pretty late sadly so I haven't heard that much, mostly 2000 and on music. 2. It might be a great album but maybe it didn't moved me (Best example: DSOTM, I recognize it is outstanding but i didn't feel related to it). 3. I'm more a single song type guy, it's really hard for me to really like a record as a whole.

Good chart mate, it's good to see more people from Colombia here, I may recommend you Oasis, Sufjan Stevens, Tame Impala, among others... Keep it up.

Buen chart! Buenos discos en general, pero en un orden personal que me parece realmente original. El Unplugged de Soda es lo mejor que hay! Saludos
