Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by mag 
Rock of Ages!
I tried not to include the same representative albums everybody's picking up ('Appetite for Destruction', '1984' and the likes) to make a more interesting 80s hard rock list (with some 70s and 90s classics as well)
Let the good times rock!

I'll give you credit for the hair metal - it takes courage to own your tastes... But surely you could replace the compilations... and it seems that Ratt, Aerosmith, Whitesnake and Glass Tiger are missing!
