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.

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]

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]

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]

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.
