Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by RyanTerry

Being new to the site as a member and having recently been trying to listen to as many new albums I can, this is my first chart of my 40 favorite albums. A lot of albums by the same artist and I wish I could go above 40 to add more variety, but this list is not permanent and my tastes will inevitably change. Hoping to receive feedback on the list and that you enjoy the albums listed.
