Top 20 Greatest Music Albums
by BostonCeltz 
I have a wide range in music and these are what I feel are the 20 best I've heard. I left off some incredible, influential records like Nevermind, Exile on Main Street, Illmatic, Me Against the World, Highway 61 Revisited, Who's Next, Born to Run, and Pet Sounds. This wasn't an easy list and there will certainly be disagreements over albums like Late Registration, Sublime, There is Nothing Left to Lose, Pinkerton, among others. But it's my opinion, and you are free to comment or make a list of your own!
