Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by Gerard1968

Hello, I have decide to apply my own parameters to this list:
I shall create an absolute top 40.
From 40 to 100 the list will only include one album by any single act.
The ethos being to show my opinion of the best albums of all time, but also to demonstrate a range of my tastes. I hope this will be more informative, rather than just an indication of my favourite half dozen acts. After all the point of thus site is to open up acts for others to investigate, if you like my top 40 then our tastes coinside; it follows that my 40 to 100 may include artists and bands you don't know, but will like.
What informs my choices can be consigned into two sets; the bands I grew up with, I was 16 in the mid eighties and left University in 1992, the second set is bands that if they had been there for my informative years I would have liked.
As an indie-kid from the eighties I do not agree with those who bemoan the decade. Every era's charts have banality at their core, the problem with the eighties is that it was defined by big hair, big shoulder pads, and an objectional fixation with materialism. Don't let that tarnish all that was good, some if the best, including my favourite, albums were conceived in the era.
I have not yet completed the notes/ordering, in addition a lot of the notes are drafts, and may not make much sence as they currently are. So the current list is a 'work in progress', and will be completed soon(ish)

The bands tribute to Sid Barrett. Check out the 'Classic Albums' documentary when he visited the studio, but wasn't recognised by his former band mates, sad but it gives an insight into the album you can't get just by listening. [First added to this chart: 04/30/2017]
