Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by StatSlave

Work in progress. One day this will be more than a soulless list of recommendations.

As of creating this list, I'm far from versed enough to produce a chart to end all charts but figured a swing at it can't do any harm.

Look at the overall rankings if you want a good idea of the all-time "best" albums. These are just my personal favorites.

"Definitive Tracks" selected as the best sampler for each album.

I like this a lot! Keep expanding! For some recommendations: Based on Souvlaki, you should check out "Whirlpool" Chapterhouse. They're a cool dream pop / shoegaze band. "Eyedazzler" by Alison's Halo is also a great album that reminds me of Souvlaki. Also, have you listened to The Antlers' "Hospice"? it's a great album, if you haven't. Keep it up dude!
