Top 30 Greatest Music Albums
by MatthewHavicon 
My album choice is mainly 1970's because, quite simply, it wiped the floor with other eras for invention and innovation. Also many of the greatest albums were performed by less well known artists who wont get voted for because many haven't heard the album in the first place!

I like the 70s focus. Good to see Fanx Tara by Sad Cafe getting a placing. A very underrated album these days.
