Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by Astralweeks2512 
My favorite artists are Van Morrison and Jerry Lee Lewis. I also love the expressive voices of Bobby Bland and Jerry Butler and my favorite rock bands are The Who and The Rolling Stones. Newer artists I like are Josh Ritter, The National and Alabama Shakes. This will probably be relective of my chart. For the most part I have tried to avoid compilation albums.

Jerry at his self-referencing best. He conquered rock, why not country.

I was trying to avoid compilations but this set of songs is too important and they don't come in album form.

Over 30% of the choices are in common with my top 100. This should be very interesting once you hit 100. I look forward to seeing the full chart.
