Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by garbl 
It was tough, but I listed only one album per performer. I could have listed more albums by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, for example. And, of course, this list is based on what I'm thinkin' at the moment. The order, if not the albums, could change.

My only real complaint is that Nevermind is above London Calling.
