Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by jullezs

16 July 08: I just edited the list to have some great albums which are currently missing in the database included. Voïvod, Fantomas, Anathema, Devin Townsend, Sepultura and Celtic Frost are in now. I kicked out Black Sabbath's debut, Revolver, Number of the Beast, Live after Death, Reign in Blood, and Master of Puppets as they're pretty well represented by others.

Still trying to figure out how to get at least 30 more titles in my chart. Might have to go to the forum some day ;)

15 July 08: This is a first quick thought over of a list of albums. Unfortunately, as the album titles came to my head, much more would appear as a favorite. There's Judas Pries, Fantomas, Sepultura, Celtic Frost as bands with possibly multiple albums deserving a nomination in my best 20 albums. I might need at least 40 more. Maybe even more.

Let's see how this list evolves through time.

Cheers!

I like the progressive parts, but don't know too much about metal either.
