Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by SebJam97 
These are some of my very favourite albums. I'd like to be able to make a top 50 and then, ideally, a top 100 chart. At the moment, however, I'm limited to a top 40.
I have slightly prioritised albums I love that are unrecognised. For example, I included Shara Nelson's fantastic album over one of Radiohead's albums as, I feel, Radiohead are slightly overrated (though I am a fan!) and Nelson, Hooverphonic etc are severely under valued.
I hope you like my chart.
Thank you! :)
