Top 38 Greatest Music Albums
by josefk1985 
This is not "my" greatest albums of all-time chart, just forty albums (as of right now) that are not recognized by anyone on this site. The goal is to incite interest in some of these albums that I am putting on this list...although some I may include in perhaps a decade list.

Electronic pop music at its best...Hans-Joachim Roedelius at his best before the band worked with Brian Eno in '77. Roedelius, I believe, was a part of Kraftwerk before "Autobahn".

Between 1966 and 1969 they sold more albums then anyone...second only to The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Great garage band.

Reggae-pop at its best in 1977. Title track is absolutely fantastic!

Very good kraut/postpunk/mutant disco turn to this. I'm definitely coming back to this for fresh ideas.
