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.

A masterful work about dwelling in death, youth, and love. All ten tracks demonstrate just how talented singers/songwriters Win Butler and Regine Chassagne really are. This record really rocks, and might make you shed a few tears. 100

Contrary to many GY!BE fans, I believe the band really hit the nail on the head with their first record. There's a lot of emotion in the ethereal samples, effects, and dialogue the band uses on this record, the builds are incredible and the experience from front to back is like none other. Obviously the CD version is the superior cut from these sessions, but the hooked groove and the infinite loop at the end of the record is ever so haunting. 100

The best record from one of my favorite post-rock artists and one of the most underrated artist of the genre. The LP has three sides, the first side of which might be the greatest side on any record. The three sides separates the album into its three distinct acts, all of which are well written and produced. However, the first three songs on that first side breaks consistency and presents the best material first, really making the latter half of the album sometimes a drag. Overall really well produced hectic but confined builds. 95
Best Track(s): Frederica*, Auberge Le Mouton Noir, Ontario Plates, Horns Of A Rabbit, Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Worst Track: It's Gonna Rain
Best Moment: Transition from War on Want into the first couple minutes of Auberge Le Mouton Noir [First added to this chart: 05/25/2019]
