Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 
ERadio 
The classics are classic for a reason. (And I love them!)
I've focused on solely personal, lesser known albums for fun before, and I'll do it again, but I'm being more conventional this time.
Anyhow, my biases are still all over this chart. Rock over Pop. Punk over Prog. Classic Soul over modern R&B. + A small scattering of treasures that have been overlooked by the masses.
Enjoy

That's one massive melting pot of genres and years. Some fantastic selections. Great to see Iggy in there.
