Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by C0NB9NN 
I’m the guy who hates Led Zeppelin. I’m indecisive about my top Beatles pick. I’m 19, and never been to a rock concert. I don’t like half of Radiohead, and never really know what I’m talking about.

If every band had the energy of the Ramones, Nirvana wouldn’t have needed to give rock a kick in the ass. Pure in your face rock and roll.

Have to agree with larex13. You’re musical tastes are way more developed than mine were at your age. This is a great chart.
Keep discovering and learning. It’s a great journey

For someone relatively new to music, you know more than I ever did at 18. If I can offer any advice, vary the genres you listen to without prejudice, and look into music outside of the US/UK. Also, certain albums may take a few listens at the right time to hit home. Enjoy your discovery.
Cheers.
