Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by richw91 
Obviosly U2 is a favorite, Actung is insane, gets getter by the year, Atomic Bomb 10 years from now will rate higher than Joshua Tree. Leonard Cohen is as good a songwriter as has ever lived, including Dylan, probably could have gone higher. Heavy Metal doesn't get enough credit on these types of things, the albums on here rock. Velvet Underground despite being recorded on sandpaper brings chills to this day. Songs in the key of life...wow, can anyone possibly sing better. Jeff Buckley's Grace means so much to me, it was an easy pick.
