Made this list for my own reference really, but added comments for anyone who cares. I'll probably edit this a lot as my opinion changes on the order.
Enjoy :)

It's the early 80s. The most talented singer in the world, the most driven producer in the world and the most talented mixing engineer in the world come together.. with the goal of making the best pop record of all time.
They succeeded. [First added to this chart: 06/15/2020]

This is one of the most eclectic charts I have seen in a minute. Hope you'll write more small descriptions like the cute Thriller one.

Love how high Aphex Twin "Drukqs" is on here. Syro is pretty good but honestly underwhelming, especially how long of a break he was on. Untouchables is pretty decent for Korn but an odd choice for top ten but heck love what you want. That's the beauty of music and different musical personalities and likes. It's fun that you have Gogol haha, they're such an excellent band in concert!

Man I can't wait to see what else would be on this later on. Quite unique where this user not only goes through the classics but also got a lot of contemporary stuff.
