Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by Hophophop 
Deckiller's older cousin, child of the 70s etc....
He got me into this site and is helping me set it up so here we go.
We share some similarities but also a lot of differences... Lots of late 70s and early 80s here...big fan of both the gothic and neo prog movements, as well as classic blues rock...
I'm really opinionated so deal with it lol.

So it's four albums from the Fish Era, and 8 albums from the Hogarth Era, but three of the top four are from the Fish Era, so... I don't know, it's all so confusing. The important thing is that you've got three XTC albums in there.
