Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 21stCSchizoidMan 
I would have included the album Casiopea by Casiopea, Death Letter by Son House Adiós Nonino by Piazzolla, Bimbo Satellite by Chris Joss (listen to Tune Down although is not from that album) and also El Paso Del Tigre by Hernán Oliva but they weren´t in the archives. You shuold also check out the 24 Capriches by Paganini, the 5th and 9th symphony by Beethoven and the 5th symphony by Tchaikovsky.
If you find any grammar mistake (which you will surely find), leave a comment and i will correct it.

Rush's peak refering to their ability to make a great and balanced album is portrayed in this album. You may have to give your ears time to acclimatize to Geddy Lee's vocals, but don't worry if you don't he will compensate with his unmatched bass playing, Neil Peart will contribute with his glorious drums and Lifeson with some awesome riffs and solos.

The most fun record that i listened to the date that doesn't loose musical complexity in spite of bein comical. You will find a lot of music mixed in here: hard rock, comedy rock, progressive rock, funk, jazz, reggae. However, Joe's Garage being comical does not leave away any important message, this ones include censorship, sex, religion, individualism. I can't go without mentioning Vinnie Colaiuta who composed some of the most important drum tracks and Arthur Barrow whose slap technique will never be forgotten.
