Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 
djnizzi 
This is the third time in my I'm trying to make a best ever albums chart. I've got my yearly charts sorted out, you can find them on allmusic and I will be transcribing them here. When I do songs charts (and I do them, yearly) I realize it is very much influenced by my personal taste. This one of course is as well. But with album charts I think people tend to converge towards universally acclaimed albums for a certain amount at least. This is also the case but I swear I adore each second of these works
