Top 50 Greatest Music Albums

This is very much a work in progress. I'm pretty sure all of the albums listed will be on the finished chart somewhere, but maybe not in their current positions. Comments disabled until I'm happy with this effort. :)

It's kind of cheating to glue some of your greatest hits to an EP and call it an album, but if Parlophone say this is an album, then I'll take them at their word; it's elligible for this list. Also, it's awesome.

My faves: I Am The Walrus, Blue Jay Way, All You Need Is Love
