Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by littleadventures 
If you like them, you like them, if you don't, you don't. Who am I to tell you want to like and what not to like. I hope some of these open your ears and expand your horizons! I love the beatles, stones, nirvana, radiohead as much as the next man, but they are so over played and over used, it's time for some new favorite albums! Hope you enjoy some of the delights on here! (Honorable mention to Motorpsycho, Dan Arborise's Of Tide & Tail, QOTSA's Rated R & Smashing Pumpkins's Mellon Collie for just missing out)

There's some really underexposed, underrated music on here, like the Bluetones album. Thank you for sharing.

Well, this doesn't't have Brokencyde on it, but otherwise, this is almost as bad as Sugarhi's chart. WAYYY too many new albums.
