Top 100 Greatest Music Albums by chavaloricardin 
This is a list of albums that changed the way I understand music, influenced me and inspired me to learn to play an instrument. Each one of the albums that you will find in this chart have changed my life and are part of me in some way.
I grew up listening to "Classic-Rock" (AC/DC, The Beatles, Queen, etc) and with the pass of time I began to listen to alternative and more melancholic music (Radiohead, Keane, The Strokes, etc), I also opened up to genres like Hip-Hop or electronic music (DJ Shadow, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, etc) so you'll see a lot of that here.
This Chart is not definitive, and my tastes are changing over time, so I will probably have to give a revision to this list in a couple of years, but for now here it is.
"As a rule, I only put maximum 2 albums per artist to give more variety"
Nota en Español:
Esta es una lista de los álbumes que cambiaron mi forma de entender la música, tuvieron influencia en mi y me inspiraron a aprender a tocar algún instrumento. Cada uno de los álbumes que encontraras en este chart han cambiado mi vida y forman parte de mi de algún modo.
No es una lista definitiva y mis gustos van cambiando con el tiempo, probablemente tenga que darle una revisión a esta lista en un par de años, pero por lo pronto aquí lo tienen.
Yo crecí escuchando "Rock-Clásico" (AC/DC, The Beatles, Queen, etc) y con el paso del tiempo comencé a escuchar música alternativa y más melancólica (Radiohead, Keane, The Strokes, etc), también me abrí a géneros como el Hip-Hop o música electrónica (DJ Shadow, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, etc) por lo que veras mucho de eso aquí.
"Como regla, solo puse máximo 2 álbumes por artista para dar más variedad y decidí no incluir álbumes recopilatorios."

Zoé es una banda de rock que se diferencia totalmente de cualquier otra banda latinoamericana, y en gran parte es gracias a su sonido alternativo y melancólico. Este disco tiene 2 de mis canciones favoritas en español ("Nada" y "Poli"), pero tambien hay otras buenas canciones como "Reptilectric" y "Resiste", en general es un álbum bien logrado.

Este álbum me llena de nostalgia, recuerdo que algunas canciones de aquí salían en comerciales y películas... escuchar "Porcelain" me transporta de regreso a inicio de los 00's

Jimi Hendrix fue una inspiración para mí, quería tocar la guitarra como él lo hacía, pero obviamente, fallé en eso xD Mitch Mitchell era realmente bueno en la batería y llena de fuerza cada canción de este álbum, Noel Redding es el complemento perfecto para enmarcar el trabajo logrado aquí.
English review
Jimi Hendrix was an inspiration to me, I wanted to play guitar like he did, but obviously, I failed at that xD Mitch Mitchell was really good on drums and full of strength every song on this album, Noel Redding is the perfect complement to frame the work achieved here.

Quise reservar los últimos 2 lugares, para bandas sonoras de videojuegos. Donkey Kong Country marcó mi infancia y su banda sonora es perfecta... cada canción está perfectamente seleccionada para cada nivel en el videojuego, y hace que la experiencia sea todavía mejor al momento de jugarlo. Todas las canciones de este videojuego son 10/10

Street Fighter II fue otro de esos juegos que marcaron mi infancia, la jugabilidad, el apartado grafico y el impacto que generó este juego en su época es innegable. Pero un gran videojuego necesita de una banda sonora de la misma calidad, y lo tiene... el tema de Guile siempre ha sido mi favorito, OMG!!!! qué recuerdos...
Como mención Honorífica; la banda sonora de Killer Instict, lo quise incluir también, pero no encontré el álbum en BEA

Hola, te escribo como respuesta al comentario reciente que pusiste en mi perfil en mi lista de albumes. Muchas gracias por el comentario. Además, consideraré comentar cada uno de los albumes como me recomiendas.
En cuanto a tu lista, también me ha gustado, veo que es muy variada y que te gustan los álbumes clásicos de bandas.
En relación a Keane, ese disco me marcó bastante en su momento, y todavía lo disfruto cuando lo escucho. Además veía necesario meter discos españoles ya que también han tenido gran peso en mi vida. De ninguna manera voy a dejarlos fuera por ser españoles, para mi siguen siendo de gran calidad. Como ves, yo no valoro la calidad general de un disco, sino lo que me ha hecho sentir ese disco, que es lo que realmente veo importante.
Un saludo

This is a good 50 - I know and love almost everything here. Special shout out to Keane at number 1 and also Travis.
Let me recommend 2 albums based on what you have and your comments - Neutral Milk Hotel In An Aeroplane Over The Sea - sometimes takes folk a while to really enjoy as it is kinda tortured folk; and Bon Iver - For Emma Forever Ago, lo-fi folk.
Get up to 100!
