Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by BrandoBoy 
I followed the one album per artist, no complication albums rule. I tried to avoid things where it's pretty much the same mind behind the music but two separate artist names, such as Paul Simon and Simon and Garfunkel, etc. This chart is subject to change.
