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.

First listen around 17yo. That London Sessions album with Clapton and the british dudes. Instatly loved it. Then when I dig into his first recordings I began to appreciate his music even more.
