Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by

This chart is very personal. I do not fancy gathering some most influential or most important or whichever items to the list.
There is no "one album for artist" rule, because I really like those placed into my chart. Maybe later it will expand, so I have some place to put the new interesting things. Sorry for now.

Complicated. Polyphonic. Witty. The best near-math rock ever been in my headphones. I love its complexity, I deeply adore there talent in music making.

Very cool list! We have a fair number in common, and others you include would be in my top 500. There are a couple I don't like, but everyone's tastes are different, and it's always interesting. I enjoy your commentaries as well!
