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.

Post-Bop
"There's more to the life of a bar band. They share the stories of the customers, and the customers relate to the stories they're told. Tears make for wonderful conversation starters. A teardrop is the hardest thing in the world to fake. The drink mixes the emotions into something indescribable, which is the inspiration for avabt-garde jazz. Bebop comes from the life of the party, and smooth jazz comes from the reason most people go to bars: to cry." [First added to this chart: 04/04/2020]
