Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by albumceleste 
I tried to do a rough catalogue of my taste.
One album per artist.
At first I was going to include classical music artists (probably a third of the chart, but there were SO many albums I needed to add and in the end classical music is not album based like pop music; when you like an artist or a work you end up listening to different versions everytime you can, so it didn't make sense to add them here.)
The order is whatever came up doing it. Maybe the top and low spots are more accurate. The middle of the bell curve is a mess.

H61Rev is tied with "Bringing it all back home" as my favourtie Dylan album. It was really a coin toss.
Highway 61 revisited
Bringing it all back home
Blonde on blonde.
Freewhelin'
Blood on the tracks
Times they're a changin'

First listen at 20ish. Felt home when I did. As years pass by I like this album more by the day.

Were my favourite around 14yo. Huge on them. That Jack White video were he can tell wich Beatles song is playing with just 2 seconds intro? I could do that too! I don't listen to them anymore on purpose.
Sgt Pepper's best album from a production standpoint. Abbey Road runner up.
Revolver best from an innovation standpoint. White album a mixed bag covering all spectre.
Rubber soul the best compromise between the innovative druggie Beatles and the merseybeat hi energy performing band. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2023]

The self titled debut has the peaks. Could be here. Half a year later they record this album in the same vein. I like SD overall more as an album.
Strange days - The Doors
LA Woman
Waiting for the sun

It took me years to get why this album is so important. Once its beauty reveled itself, it became one of my all time favourites.
