Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by 
AlvaroIesus 
As most charts here, this one is also in constant rotation. Right now, I’m going for a one album per artist type of chart. So, this is a brief selection of my favorite album from each major artist who has accompanied me throughout my life. All are incredibly talented artists, which is why I'll recommend some other great albums or even singles in the description of each.

Este es el álbum definitivo. Desde su contundente título "Sangre en las canciones" hasta su inmejorable portada. El Dylan más ácido y afilado, desplegando su genio de la primera a la última canción del disco.
Y no solo es Dylan, una vez más, un impecable cantautor; también es un excelente vocalista, algo que a menudo se menosprecia. Su vocalización, rítmica, contratiempos y melodías vocales son inseparables de su obra. [First added to this chart: 09/21/2021]

The absolute pinnacle of talent from the most underrated band of the 21st century. The band's fascinating melodic capacity contrasts once again with the most maddening and aggressive guitar and drum noise. Molly Rankin's voice is already legendary, and her lyrics and compositions are underappreciated. A devastating and complete album. Alvvays stamps their mark as not just a band of gimmicks, looks, and glamour; they came to break apart the rest of the indie and trendy bands into pieces.
spanish:
La absoluta cúspide del talento de la banda mas infravalorada del siglo XXI. La fascinante capacidad melodica de la banda contrasta una vez mas con el mas enloquecedor y agresivo ruido de guitarras y baterías. La voz de Molly Rankin ya es una legendaria y sus letras y composiciones poco apreciadas. Un disco demoledor y completo. Alvvays pone sello que no son una banda de jueguitos, looks y glamour, vinieron a partir al resto de bandas indies trendies en pedazos. [First added to this chart: 10/19/2022]

"Vasos y Besos" es el resultado de cuando un grupo de virtuosos en sus instrumentos y cancionistas puros se junta. No se trata de un sinsentido carente de alma, como muchos discos que encabezan listas en este sitio porque sorprenden a los más críticos con sus interminables cambios de compases rítmicos. Aquí también hay virtuosismo, pero palpable, carismático y cálido; este grupo de todoterrenos era capaz de ofrecer ráfagas interminables de brillantez melódica, como en los majestuosos solos de Bazterrica o Calamaro en "Cucarachón de Tribunal".
Miguel Abuelo, con una voz que te mueve las fibras, es un maestro en control absoluto de su arte, adornando con precisión cada interpretación. Curiosamente, a pesar de que Miguel Abuelo era un frontman inigualable, en la banda hubo espacio para todos: Calamaro, Bazterrica, Cachorro López y hasta el menos conocido Daniel Melingo, quien compuso y cantó la joya "Chalamán". Y no podemos olvidar a Calamaro, que ya empezaba a consolidarse como un grande y nos dejó temas memorables como "Así Es El Calor" y la hoy legendaria "Mil Horas".
Canción favorita: Vamos Al Ruedo
Mejores canciones: Chalamán, Mil Horas, No Se Desesperen, Yo Soy Tu Bandera

El alma de la música independiente muchos años antes del nacimiento del "indie". Recorrido inolvidable y eufòrico desde las más bella baladas pop "Femme Fatale", "Sunday Morning", "I'll Be Your Mirror" hasta las feroces y experimentales ¨Heroin¨, ¨Run Run Run¨ ¨European Son¨.
Por último y menos importante, resaltar las memorables interpretaciones de Nico, y Lou. [First added to this chart: 09/05/2021]

Feroz e imbatible agresividad ingenio en cada pista. Una banda que auténticamente prioriza el expresar sus emociones por encima de tendencias, modas y demás. Enorme cualidad para la agresividad y el surrealismo sonoro sin miedo al coro pop.

Nice start to what I suspect will become a stellar chart. Too few entries to give it a 90+ yet but I suspect that that is where my rating will end up.
