Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by illphil80 
My favourite albums, and yes they are from a certain era (1994 onwards), but that is my era, I like some older music but not enough to make it into the list. This is based purely on rating songs and various over complicated equations. So it's not just picked out of the air, or on a whim. I hope you enjoy it. I also have a blog page where I am revealing my top 250 albums, 1 a day, as 2019 progresses https://sportsstats.music.blog/. (also being done on my facebook page)
