Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by adair 
Those are my personal favourites because they have some meaning to me or got me through some hard times. If you want a Best Albums of All Time List there you go:
1. Blonde on Blonde (Bob Dylan)
2. The Velvet Underground & Nico
3. Abbey Road (Beatles)
4. Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)
5. Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie)
Thanks.
