Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by 
Spyglass 
My chart is ordered from best to worst. These albums I have chosen are albums that go above and beyond the boundaries of music, and have brilliance to share in whatever forms they take. All of the albums I've chosen are very special to me in one way or another, even if they're outside of my comfort zone, because a comfort zone doesn't matter when you're trying to comprehend all forms of music.
I've added little stories that describe my feelings when listening to each album. They're quite odd, but I love a little odd now and then.

Southern Hip Hop
"Well, brothers, we've finally done it. We've molded wine women and song into a unique kind of cocaine. It's the kind of cocaine that brings whole families together, addresses social and political topics without infuriating anyone, and might help heal the lame. I know it sounds impossible, but we've come a long way since the Golden Age of Hip Hop. It's time for a change like no other change." [First added to this chart: 04/03/2020]
