Top 30 Greatest Music Albums
by ichaaraoui 
This chart will be constantly updated as I listen to more albums I think are worthy of a spot in my top 20 list. Decided to keep it a short 20 albums for now, as it gets really difficult to rank albums lower than that. Just to clarify, this list is not my opinion of the 20 best albums of all time, but rather my top 20 FAVOURITE albums of all time.
