Top 100 Greatest Music Albums

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.

Thanks for the 20% ratings on my overall chart and for the 5% on my 1976...Was that intentional or a mistake? I realized I gave your 1976 list a bad rating, but I didn't even know it; it was a typo...
