Top 10 Greatest Music Albums
by neomarvelbunny 
i really labored over this top ten; i generally don't like ranking albums. i'd prefer just listing ten albums "in no particular order." So i'll probably hate the ranking five minutes after i click "Add Chart."
i tried deperately to avoid the trap of listing MY FAVORITE albums instead of THE BEST, so a lot of my favorites have been left out, and some of the albums in my top ten don't rank among my favorites. So appologies to Dennis Wilson, Yoko Ono, Genesis, Brian Eno and many more.

As solid and diverse of a top 10 as I've ever seen. Limiting it to 10 is a pretty nice move too; leaves a lot to the imagination.
