Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by 
Tamthebam 
May 2025 - I had to redo my chart. I deleted the old one by mistake ! These are my favourite albums. These are the albums I return to time & time again depending on my mood. I like all kinds of music I really don't care who the artist is, its the sound that counts. & the way the music created moves me. I deleted my old chart so this is a newish chart.
