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."

This album is one of the reasons I started listening to Shoegaze. Every time I listen to it it gives me a strange feeling of sadness and disorientation, but at the same time it is so relaxing, I do not know it is weird lol.
I love all the songs and I can not skip any, but my favorites are:
*Alison
*Souvlaki Space Station
*When the Sun Hits
*Machine Gun
Este álbum es una de las razones por las que empecé a escuchar Shoegaze. Cada vez que lo escucho me produce una extraña sensación de tristeza y desorientación, pero al mismo tiempo es tan relajante, no lo sé es raro jaja amo todas las canciones y no puedo saltarme ninguna, pero mis favoritas son:
*Alison
*Souvlaki Space Station
*When the Sun Hits
*Machine Gun [First added to this chart: 05/17/2023]

Queen fue mi banda favorita durante un tiempo y en parte fue gracias a este álbum. Si bien hay canciones muy bonitas como "Love of my Life" o "Youre my best friend" Bohemian Rhapsody es una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado en mi vida, solo por eso tiene bien ganado su lugar aquí.
English review
Queen was my favorite band for a while and it was partly thanks to this album. While there are very nice songs like "Love of my Life" or "Youre my best friend" Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life, just for that it has well earned its place here.

Me encanta este álbum. Creo que la combinación de hip-hop con el soul queda bastante bien. Tiene un sonido tipo urbano/callejero pero los arreglos de voz le dan una elegancia muy placentera para el oído.
Cada canción vale la pena pero sin duda las mejores son "Ex-Factor" y "Doo-wop"
English review:
I love this album. I think the combination of hip-hop and soul works quite well. It has an urban/street type sound but the voice arrangements give it a very pleasing elegance to the ear.
Each song is worth it but without a doubt the best are "Ex-Factor" and "Doo-wop" [First added to this chart: 05/13/2023]

Me encanta el tono oscuro y desordenado del álbum. "Vietnam" y "Intimate" son super geniales, "Pap Smear" me hace querer bailar. jajajaja

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!
