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.

"I am the bombast of the classical era, reborn in lightning and thunder. I am the enemy of your slug-like hands across the acoustic guitar. I am the nursery rhyme you hear in your head when the reaper comes for your wasted soul. Death fears me, for he is my slave. The world loves me, for I am the harbinger of the destruction to come for all before me and the ruler of a new world. I am metal." [First added to this chart: 11/10/2020]

"They say I am a poet, and I am a wraith. They call me a preacher, and a slayer of the soul. I am made of metal and flesh, and I am born of fire and tears. Some say I am both a master and a puppet, but I think what I am is... drawn to my humanity." [First added to this chart: 04/03/2020]
