Top 84 Greatest Music Albums
by 
Ilolahti 
I mostly buy my music on vinyl. These charts consist of my cds. As you can see, there are many compilations. The reason being as Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson nicely put it: a few years ago, I found myself mostly buying other artists' best-of albums to get the cream of the crop on one disc or, perhaps, to get a flavour of a band with whom I was only partially familiar.
