Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by lessibthorpe 
With the exception of the first two albums, it is difficult for me to number the remaining 48 in any kind of preference, although if really pushed I'd get a top 10 out of them. Also rather than reel off 2/3/4 albums from the same artist (which I could easily do), I've gone for a list of 50 artists and what I consider their best albums. Look forward to comments, good and bad. Les
