Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by blanket_509 
Note: This chart is an ever-changing work in progress. I don't pretend to have listened to every great album in the history of modern music, so if you're looking at this list and thinking, "why the hell isn'ton this list?", then please, turn me on to something new. One of two things will happen, I'll either be forever grateful or disgusted by your lack of taste.

I'm not sure what to say because your second page is so different from your first page. It's like two different people made this list.

I find it funny how the first page is all classic rock expect tool. I also don't think counting crows should be included on a best ever albums list.
