Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by rnanderson8 
List of albums I consider to be the greatest. This should exemplify my music taste and hopefully anyone reading this finds something new to listen to. Constantly updating and adding new albums. You'll find a mix of indie, hip-hop/rap, post-rock, emo, shoegaze, and what you'd hopefully consider classics. Completely and utterly subjective. Enjoy!
Songs w/ (*) are considered some of my greatest tracks of all time.
