Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by ssimmonds 
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.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
We work very hard to ensure our site is as fast (and FREE!) as possible, and we respect your privacy.
