Top 30 Greatest Music Albums
by CactusOfShame 
I decided to use a strange restriction on the albums I am allowed to include in this chart. I am ONLY using albums that have come up randomly after hitting the "Random Album" button. This restriction forces me to discover albums I could have never discovered. It is a great experiment, and I want you to see my rankings so far. As I continue this project, I will give detailed descriptions of why each selection deserves its relative position as "Best Of The Random."
