Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by WBtC 
What I am aiming to make is a list of what albums influenced music the most, so I am trying to keep my personal opinion out of it for the most part. Also, I will be ignoring compilation albums despite some excellent ones existing due to an intention to focus on albums rather than a series of singles. Live albums, however, are fair game. I will add commentary on the decisions as I have time to do so.
