Top 60 Greatest Music Albums
by 
zdwyatt 
It's too hard to make a chart that reconciles "great" albums versus my favorite albums while including all the genres I enjoy. Instead, this chart is limited to my favorite genre, which musically spans a few related genres, but has as its heart good stories told through good lyrics. I am also limiting myself to one album per artist, which means I am excluding albums that I love to ensure maximum recognition of artists.
