Top 100 Greatest Music Albums

(Album notes incoming)
I've been on BEA in various forms over the last decade. I'll have an account, use it for a year or so, then forget it for a year...then come back and realize my old rating system is impossible to fix so I start all over. Nothing has had a greater impact on me musically from the ages of 14-24 than this website. The most important thing I've learned is that I haven't heard anything and I will never, ever feel like I have. The sheer volume of music out there is impossible to comprehend.

I really don't agree with most of your choices. I can, however, appreciate the diversity and the care put into this chart. On a site full of so similarly-minded individuals, it's so nice to see a chart that stands out. Some great notes for the first few albums!!

Not a huge fan of everything on here but I do really like around 50 or so of your choices. It's nice to see charts like this that are actually interesting and don't just copy the overall picks, plus there are some new albums to discover which I have not heard of before.

Speaking of blind spots... 0 albums in common. Perfect!

Why do we have an unreal number of albums in common?
