Top 78 Greatest Music Albums by willmaatealrii

Hello chart viewers, few disclaimers:

Yeah I realise this chart is incredibly repetitive, but it's also honest.
There are also a lot of fairly obvious picks, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Beatles etc, however there is also a decent amount of slightly less known and interesting picks to be had
Comments are in the works, I pinky promise.

Enjoy

Niandra LaDes And Usually Just A T-Shirt

John Frusciante, as the Red Hot Chili Pepper's guitarist, is of course and incredibly decorated and famous guitarist. However, very few people have listened to his solo stuff, and even those who have tend to drift to 'Curtains' or 'The Empyrean', so I believe this album is worthy of inclusion as a relative unknown. This is my all time favourite album. The layers of guitar, the ingenuity of instrumental, the pain of the lyrics and the feeling of the voice are all perfect in my opinion. If you are not willing to give this album 3 or 4 listens, don't bother. You will not like it the first time, however, if you have a few hours to spend, then go right ahead and you may find one of your favourite albums of all time. [First added to this chart: 05/15/2016]

If you liked Niandra Lades, then you may be a member of the 0.1% of people who like this album. Frusciante himself doesn't like this album. It's completely understandable why people don't enjoy it. The album is a complete mess, Frusciante screams his way through it, you can barely understand any of the lyrics, some of the songwriting is shambolic (looking at you 'I May Again Know John'. However, I absolutely love it, River Phoenix makes a very enjoyable appearance, some other bits of songwriting are pure genius and I defy anyone to find an album with more raw emotion. Key songs include: Breathe, Here Air and I'm Always. [First added to this chart: 03/10/2017]

The greatest G-Funk album of all time. Snoop could easily be criticised for a lot of things, putting out an endless stream of mediocre records, appearing on anything for the money etc etc, but this is him at his best, before he made it, before he was rich, before he became a meme. If you consider yourself a fan of rap and you haven't given this a listen then hang your head in shame. Key tracks include: Gz and Hustlaz, G Funk Intro and Who Am I (What's my Name)?.

The alternative album that literally everyone likes. This is an album that I can't quite justify to myself, many of the sounds here are objectively unpleasant at time. This is shown best by the title track. The chord progression is simple as can be (no bad thing), a singing saw is used and Jeff Magnum belts his way through the song, not necessarily always in tune. Despite all this, the album is a joy and I find myself returning to it frequently. [First added to this chart: 03/10/2017]

Deserves more recognition, Paul Heaton is undoubtedly one of the best modern British songwriters. Best track unquestionably The Table, although I know that Perfect 10 is the one that got the glory (not that it's anything bad). [First added to this chart: 03/10/2017]

Where do I start? One of the greatest rap albums of all time definitely and one of the most influential. If you want to get into rap but don't know where to start, here is a very good place. Key tracks: Can It all be so simple, C.R.E.A.M and Tearz. [First added to this chart: 03/10/2017]
