Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by Pegleg 
These are my favorites. I tried my best to keep them in order, but they are all pretty damn good, so the order changes sometimes from listen to listen.

This is it... Four of the greatest musicians of all time, coming together in their prime! All the songs are outstanding. I can't believe they made this on the road while touring for Zeppelin I. If it gets better than this, I have not yet heard it.

While I don't think this was as influential as Dark Side, I personally prefer this album. I cannot tell you how many times I've listened to it, but it's a pretty big number. No boundaries, just great songs. They wrote a marvelous 26 minute long song, cut it in half and bookended 3 other absolutely outstanding tracks!

One of their many albums to be great from start to finish. You can argue they have better albums, but you cannot argue that this album changed the landscape of music forever!

What a great overall piece. This is a cohesive album rather than just a collection of songs. Truly beautiful. Starman is my favorite!

This has a few mediocre songs, but it has a bunch of great songs. These guys can sure make a lot of noise! Next to John Bonham, Keith Moon is the best drummer to have walked this planet... This is also their best album by at least a mile.

My friend Scott made me listen to this a couple of years ago. I listened to it 4 times in a row and then went out and bought a copy.

Great chart. Fun to see some of the most amazing hard-rock albums but Someone like Micheal Jackson asswell. And what a cool number one choice.
