Top 26 Greatest Music Albums
by stretchy 
This chart is very personal so I'm not just rating the albums on quality. When it comes to quality, I don't think I know what I'm talking about. I am the kind of person to fall in love with a certain sound for a while, archive the albums from that sound that I love the most, then move on. I use the timeless, influential bands as tools to broaden my tastes, kind of. The order of these will change more often than I have time to update this, as is the case with most of you.

MGMT is my favorite band since March of 2010, when they played Brian Eno on Saturday Night Live to promote this album. It doesn't matter if Oracular Spectacular is the better album or Time to Pretend isn't noticed enough. I'm keeping this to one album per artist and I'm including this because this is a big part of what brought my musical taste to where it is now.

I'm not sure if I should credit Circa Survive or Deftones for helping me admit to myself that I like the way Post-Hardcore sounds. It talks about life, love, growing up and finding a place and a direction, in a way that I best understand.

I could pick a quote from any line of any verse of any song. It's like a comedy album that's funny because it's honest and true, but emotional and personal too. I suppose I just "get" narcissism, maybe?

The coolest chart around. Love the pick, especially english alternative 80s stuff. Would love to see top 100, with some kickass 70s choices as well!
