Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by OlivierD 
Put in alphabetical order (sorted by Artist). This might feel quite random, but ranking them from brilliant to somewhat less brilliant is equally arbitrary in my opinion; these records are all awe-inspiring pieces of art. And with 'Funeral' on the nr. 1 spot i can't complain.
An artist or band can only appear once in the chart (i'm sorry, Bowie).
