Top 100 Greatest Artists
by 
tgarritsen 
For this list I selected my favorite artists and picked the album of each artist which I like the most. You could say that it's my take on the whole '1 album per artist' lists which I have seen around this site. The list is alphabetically ordered, because I found it way to hard rank my favorite artists past my top 5.
