Top 100 Greatest Music Albums

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.

Brilliant re-edit of a number of Genesis' best songs. Great work. Let it be the one and only compilation/remix album in this chart.

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.

This is the best game OST I've ever heard to. A talented Japanese musician Keiichi Okabe has made all the music. Some songs are instrumental, but the most have vocals, and their language is a mix of English, German, French and Japanese-like words.
A must-hear song:
- 5. Cold Steel Coffin
These songs are also good:
- 31. The Lost Forest
- 33, 35. Shadowlord's Castle (Memory)/(Roar)
- 25. Song of the Ancients Hollow Dreams
- 8. The Wretched Automations
- 38. Shadowlord [First added to this chart: 02/25/2013]

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!
