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.

Favorite: surf wax America, only in dreams
Collection: Vinyl
this album was one of the first GOOD albums I got attached to. I remember listening to say it ain't so a million times because I couldn't get over how good it is. I feel like this album has a song for each kind of day. Surf Wax America for the good summertimes, The World Has Turned and Left Me Here for the I don't care moments, and say it ain't so because of your abusive, alcoholic father...... Anyways really good and catchy and I love the fact that this album cover is just a big ole meme. [First added to this chart: 11/28/2018]

Favorite: Lover, You Should Have Come Over
Collection: Vinyl (purple)
Who allowed this man to have such a BEAUTIFUL voice??? what the heck??? This album is so chill and groovy. my favorite song, Lover, You Should Have Come Over, really hurts my heart sometimes, and the instrumentals in the song are almost as beautiful and stunning as his voice. Same with my second favorite, So Real, its kinda eerie and interesting at the same time, and those high notes....once again, Jeff will amaze me with what he can do with his voice every single time I listen to one of his songs.

Favorite: oh comely
when I first came upon this one, I got a little skeptical of the cover art. I thought, "this album looks weird, so it probably sounds weird too. Well, I was definitely right with both parts, but it's weird in some of the best ways. Half the time, I don't have a clue what is being talked about, all I know is that I like how different it is. much confusion. but this album is so fun to listen to.

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]

Favorite: Pink Triangle
Collection: Vinyl
It was really a surprise to me that once this first came out, people weren't very big fans of it. Anyways, I love it because I love Weezer and the fact that I can get a really happy album like blue and a sad one like this one is really the best thing. Also, Rivers if you're reading this can we be besties???? [First added to this chart: 11/28/2018]

My best friend and I listen to this album all the time, the majority of this album is super upbeat, fun, and just the right amount of angst.

A classic. I think this one is ranked #1 on this site which is pretty cool. I like this one because it sounds really different and I love it for that. In a lot of the tracks, it has an eerie electronic sound which definitely sets the mood for the album. [First added to this chart: 03/22/2019]

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.
