Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by

These albums are not really in order of preference. This is just a list of my top albums. Bruce Springsteen is my favorite artist which is why all of his albums are at the top of the list. I'll be adding more of my favorites as time goes on.

A top ten full of Springsteen is sure a sight for sore eyes. Your Van Morrison picks are pretty fab to.

Ahhh Jungleland is a great song! It's probably my third favorite by the Boss (after Born to Run and the River), it's just so emotional. Plus, I think it has the best imagery I've ever heard in a song. And dat solo...

To onealsm...
Yes, I do like Bruce...much. But if you read my comment I made about my chart you would see why I put all of Bruce's albums first.
