Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by Schismic_Porcupine 
Some may not be in particular order, but these are 40 albums that have influenced me the most as a dedicated musician (drummer to be exact), as well as my personal favorite albums to listen to in their entirety. Numbers one and two are in correct order. The rest aren't really in order.

Extremely under-rated prog visionaries. This album is by far their best effort at captivating the listener by doing something radically different at the time of release. But then again, this album STILL can be considered as radically different. No other band out there that was quite like Can.
