Top 40 Greatest Music Albums
by Mikey43 
Brand new here. Doing this from the hip. Will edit. Right now ranking is when the album hits my mind. One album per artist so far. This is a neverending project. You know. I know. And Im old. Im sure there are more albums after 2000 that I would love.
But time.
Time.
Times.

That’s exactly how I started my first chart. Gradually building from a base. Great start. Looking forward to seeing the chart expand as you move up the levels. Welcome to the site
