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.

Found RJ's music when I was 18. I already knew him by name, cited as an influence for other artists.
Upon first listen I didn't get it. Then after repeated listens he became one of my favourite artists ever. I never get tired of his music, no matter how much I listened to it. [First added to this chart: 10/17/2022]
