Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by battagl1 
<<< WORK IN PROGRESS; Not Completed >>>
All of the albums in my chart are from the 1990's to the current. It is not that I do not listen to or enjoy The Beatles or Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin, but the majority of music I do listen to is in more recent years. It would be unfair of me to try and chart some of the most well-respected bands of all time without having greater knowledge of their work.
So, rather considering this an overall chart, think of it as a "Best Albums Of More Recent Years" chart. Comments are welcome. Thanks!
