Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by martindoens 
These are my 50 favourite records of all-time, in no particular order.
They shaped me to the person I am today and have been my best companions in various parts of my life. This list will continually change as I explore new music though these are the albums which I still like to listen over and over again.
