Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by 
MusicGod 
These are what I think are the 50 Best Albums ever, this list could easily change overtime. NOTE: If there are any two albums next to each other that are by the same band, it's because I couldn't decide which was better,
My Favorite Bands Are... (In order from 1-20):
Rush, The Killers, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The White Stripes, Arcade Fire, Jane's Addiction, System of a Down, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Beck, Mindless Self Indulgence, Gorillaz/Blur, Pink Floyd, Queen, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel/Genesis, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, and Iron Maiden

It could afford to be a little more balanced, but this is still a great chart. I love the White Stripes and Rush choices.
