Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by Rekko

I listen to metal, rock, pop, folk, country, R&B, rap, etc. - I don't put any limitations for the music I like. Almost all the music I like have made in the 1960's or after.

Dave Mustaine made Megadeth essential but he needed Nick Menza, David Ellefson, and Marty Friedman to make the biggest masterpiece in thrash metal! Every time I listen to this album, it sounds fresh! "Tornado of Souls", "Holy Wars"...they show diversity as its best! [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

Her real debut. She had the new beginning with the new artist name and created a pop perfection! "Summertime Sadness", "Off to the Races"... lots of favorites! [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

The second album was even better than their first one - and it was already super-influential! "War Pigs", "Electric Funeral" are doom metal as its best - and even "Planet Caravan" kicks so much everything! [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

When she made CCM. This is alternative pop with Christian message! "God Is Watching You" and "Love Is Not Lost" are the best songs. [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

The most influential band for sure - the reason we have quality albums. This one set the standards very high - just ask Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys - it made him to write songs for "Pet Sounds". "In My Life", "Norwegian Wood" - well all the songs are very good. [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

The godfather of Christian rock. The album is just full of rocking songs and emotional ballads, sense of humor... He sounds very much like Neil Young in vocals. They both started at the same time. "I've Got to Learn to Without You" and "I Wish We'd All Been Ready" - just take a listen! [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

She is a very good folk artist. Her vocals sounded very young although she was adult when this was recorded! "All My tears be Washed Away" and ""Precious to God" are examples of emotional music with spiritual lyrics! [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

The 70's pop group which have been more influential than most of us believe! The sound inspired Kim Wilde, Madonna etc. "Heart of Glass" is a very good disco song but my favorites are "Picture This" and "Sunday Girl". [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

This band inspired Metallica, Soundgarden, Van Halen, Megadeth, Iron Maiden. Very good metal - a link between Black Sabbath and Rush. "Napoleon Bona Part 1 & 2" and "I Can't See My Feelings" are just the two greatest songs. [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

It is Finnish pop music but her vocals and the melodies are so beautiful. "Oljenkorsia ruutupaidassa" and "Unelmani" are awesome! [First added to this chart: 10/15/2019]

I really enjoy some of these albums, and others not so much. This is quite an original chart, though... with some really nice picks! If you want to hear good music with a Christian theme check out Bill Fay. He is one of my all-time favorites.
