Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by danfaitz 
I decided to add a "1 album per artist" rule to add variation, and to prevent the list from being solely comprised of Kanye West, Animal Collective, Radiohead, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles. Also, aside from the top 10, these albums are in no particular order.
