Top 40 Greatest Music Albums

To make up for the lack of space, I have limited myself to one album per artist. This way I have managed to assemble a more diverse list. I picked my favourite album by each of my favourite artists and ranked them.
I muchly appreciate feedback and am more than happy to talk about any of these artists - I also really look forward to recommendations!

The album artwork sums up the feel of the album very well: floating away on a boat into the colours all around.
