Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by ssimmonds Unknown

This is a list for romantics and music lovers. More varied than many, by genre and country - you are most unlikely to have heard all in the top 10.
Less varied, in that it is heavy on melody and guitar.


Most of these albums are chosen because I can listen to them again and again. And have done so. I've identified some personal favourites on some of the albums.
