Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by boppare 
I have a very diverse taste , so I included genres other than rock/pop in the list, music that has been of immense importance to me at various times in my life. There are some tried and true favorites, and some more obscure/underrated albums. Limited to 1 album per artist, so that there's room for the 21st century artists I love.

This chart is fuckin awesome! Some really great stuff here and love the blues pciks and the other earthy, gritty album choices here. And any chart and music fan who loves Lucinda's Car Wheels On A Gravel Road is a good one.
