Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by chavaloricardin

Here, an attempt to make a list with my 100 favorite albums ...
I am never satisfied with this list and I have to leave many albums that I love and that stinks, so this Chart is always in constant change.

No more than 2 albums per artist

The first time I heard Joy División was in the video game "Tony Hawk's Project 8" for the PS2 and I fell in love with the song "Interzone".
So, when I heard Unknown Pleasures for the first time, I was shocked... the whole aesthetic and dark atmosphere of the album left me totally impressed.

What can I say about this Album that hasn't been said before? Simply, a masterpiece.
The Dark Side of the Moon was one of the first albums I heard in my life, I was always struck by how dark and reflective this album is but at the same time it is simple and accessible, perhaps that is where its success lies.

¿Qué puedo decir sobre este Álbum que no se haya dicho antes? Simplemente, una obra maestra.
The Dark Side of the Moon fue unos de los primeros álbumes que escuché en mi vida, siempre me llamó la atención lo obscuro y reflexivo que es este álbum pero al mismo tiempo es sencillo y accesible, tal vez ahí radica su éxito. [First added to this chart: 03/08/2023]

Queen fue mi banda favorita durante un tiempo y en parte fue gracias a este álbum. Si bien hay canciones muy bonitas como "Love of my Life" o "Youre my best friend" Bohemian Rhapsody es una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, solo por eso tiene bien ganado su lugar aquí.

English review
Queen was my favorite band for a while and it was partly thanks to this album. While there are very nice songs like "Love of my Life" or "Youre my best friend" Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life, just for that it has well earned its place here.

Hola, te escribo como respuesta al comentario reciente que pusiste en mi perfil en mi lista de albumes. Muchas gracias por el comentario. Además, consideraré comentar cada uno de los albumes como me recomiendas.
En cuanto a tu lista, también me ha gustado, veo que es muy variada y que te gustan los álbumes clásicos de bandas.
En relación a Keane, ese disco me marcó bastante en su momento, y todavía lo disfruto cuando lo escucho. Además veía necesario meter discos españoles ya que también han tenido gran peso en mi vida. De ninguna manera voy a dejarlos fuera por ser españoles, para mi siguen siendo de gran calidad. Como ves, yo no valoro la calidad general de un disco, sino lo que me ha hecho sentir ese disco, que es lo que realmente veo importante.
Un saludo

This is a good 50 - I know and love almost everything here. Special shout out to Keane at number 1 and also Travis.
Let me recommend 2 albums based on what you have and your comments - Neutral Milk Hotel In An Aeroplane Over The Sea - sometimes takes folk a while to really enjoy as it is kinda tortured folk; and Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago, lo-fi folk.
Get up to 100!
