Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by Br0wn 
These are (for right now), my favorite albums of all time. I’m still fairly new to discovering music myself, so frequent updates and changing positions is to be expected.

Extremely solid midwestern emo that speaks to the loneliness and unhappiness that sometimes tends to linger. Songs do a great job of feeling empty and often convey a sort of ‘screaming into the void’.

Ghost stories from the man behind Porcupine Tree. I don’t think I could ask much more from an album this epic.

A piece of abstract and bizarre electro-pop that cannot be nailed down. The songs bring so much energy and texture, and as soon as you think you’ve figured the whole thing out, the next song takes a 180. Databend is a great song too.

Tourist History is full of great modern indie jams that are full of great songwriter detail and hooks that’ll be ingrained in my head for the rest of time. Undercover Martyn is a classic.

A far departure from Bon Iver’s regular music, 22, A Million is experimental, weird, and sometimes barely sounds like music. The auto tune compliments the instrumentals extremely well, and this robotic yet beautiful romp is one I frequently find myself coming back to.

Following a 17 year hiatus from the first LP, American Football came back swinging with a second fantastic album, one that I feel surpasses the first. Desire Gets In The Way is my high point, and the songs pack an energy that I feel wanes in and out on the first album.

When I die, I’m going to make sure to die lit. The success of Magnolia off of the previous mixtape set a clear path for Carti, and he took the mold and made countless more trap hits in its vein, and it really, really works.

Lamar speaks to the struggle of growing up black in America and coming to terms with himself having to be a spokesperson for his race. Empowering and excellent.

While the man behind Sun Kil Moon is detestable, the man can absolutely write a heart-on-his-sleeves singer-songwriter ballad.

A hard hitting, laugh-packed experimental hip hop album that dives deep into the politics of England. The dream duo delivers on all fronts.

What a brilliant chart. Subtle descriptions, semi-obscure combined with acclaimed choices, consistently strong style throughout. Keep up the work my man, and happy birthday!!
