Top 10 Greatest Music Albums
by smith&wesson 
Choices…Choices…Ehh, its hard to decide which albums are the cream de la cream. In my opinion picking 20 world’s best albums is a hard nut to crack and trying to choose 10 of your favorites is almost an impossible task for any music lover. But i think I've done my homework properly;) Open for suggestions!

look its all about the variety in choice and i love that someone thinks that rain dogs is the best album of all time.. no one could ever come close in writing such compositions

Hi Smith&Wesson... Think that gun went off in your head :-) Q-Magazine's no. 99 out of 100 albums - Rain Dogs - at the top-spot? Master of Puppets but no Revolver, White Album, Blonde on Blonde or Highway 61 Revisited?
I'm sure James Brown had a great gig at the Apollo, but does this make it the fifth-best album of ALL TIME???
The total ignorance of Jimi Hendrix? Led Zeppelin - without whom Alice Cooper would have played folk-songs :-)
Come on Wojciech, you can do better than that! See you on saturday! Don't drink anymore - it's beginning to show on your charts, hehe!
