Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by matthewofleeds 
Just for the record (no pun intended) this is a list of my personal favourite albums. This is my opinion so don't hate me if you're one of those insufferable music snobs who thinks that their opinion is fact, sorry I didn't include every single Radiohead release ever, though I always thought that they aren't really obscure or pretentious enough for you.
