Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by machiaj 
My greatest studio albums are from ranking my favorites excluding compilations and live albums. In ranking my favorites I noticed my top ten for the most are from the 70’s and on the soft side of listening. My next top ten are more from the rock side of listening. I guess over time my music genres expanded but still my heart is in Classic Rock.
