Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by rc81457 
I know these are not always the "best" albums in my collection, but they are albums that have stuck with me over the years...which may be why there are so many more older titles than newer ones. Also, I tried to spread out multiple albums by the same artist. Otherwise the Top 10 would be filled by two or three artists.
The order changes every time I look at the list, so it could all change tomorrow!

Really nice chart. Full of slightly left field choices, which I like. Like the inclusion of RLJ.
