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 love the female voice and RnB but also the 70's are my favourite decade. I decided to include Compilations this time as some compilations are just too good to ignore .
