Top 56 Greatest Music Albums
by hailey 
In the summer of 2018, I had a friend of mine introduce me to the best music I have ever listened to. Before I started talking to my friend I was listening to today's alternative music, which, isn't near as great as any of the things I have listed on this chart. The first album he had me listen to was Illinois by Sufjan Stevens. It was very different, but I loved it. I then asked him for some more music suggestions and he gave me a list that was almost 100 albums long with all sorts of artists. I am still working on listening to them, but my experience so far has been so great with this music. As of now, I am still meeting new people, which brings along a lot of different music tastes that just gets mixed in with this big list of (sometimes) random albums.

this one never failed to put a smile on my face. I love listening to this when I'm excited because of the very energetic music but it also has a lot of sad, darker ones, which I appreciate as well. [First added to this chart: 11/28/2018]

Good start and welcome to the journey. Keep going and finding new stuff - old classics, weird and new. I won't give any suggestions since you've got someone guiding you there for now. Your Pink Floyd and Bon Iver are amongst my fav's and isn't Neutral Milk Hotel just an amazing and emotional album.
Enjoy the journey and remember to add comments to your picks - why you like them and what they are - helps others decide if they want to give it a listen.
