Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by EstebanPalitos 
I don't like the word "greatest" used for 'hierarchical' order of the albums phenomenon, limited -and determined- by taste and knowledge. I am not telling you "this is the best list", fuck that kind of order, I like this: "40 cool albums I'll recomend to myself some years before...and later". Regards ;)
