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."

La primera vez que escuché "Parfum Thérémmine" me quedé sin palabras... realmente me atrapó al instante, así que comencé a escuchar el resto del álbum y fue genial... amé la voz de Flore Benguigui, los sonidos atmosféricos de los sintetizadores y las líneas de bajo combinan a la perfección, solo basta escuchar "Agitations Tropicales" y sabrán de lo que estoy hablando. "La Lune" es otra de mis favoritas de este álbum.
English review
The first time I heard "Parfum Thérémmine" I was speechless... It really grabbed me instantly, so I started listening to the rest of the album and it was great... I loved Flore Benguigui's voice, the atmospheric sounds of the synthesizers and the bass lines combine perfectly, just listen to "Tropical Agitations" and you'll know what I'm talking about. "La Lune" is another of my favorites from this album. [First added to this chart: 04/01/2023]

Al principio, había agregado "Revolver" en este chart, pero nunca estuve seguro de esa elección... quiero decir, "The Beatles" tienen tantos álbumes geniales que elegir solo 2 es muy difícil para mí. Entonces, volví a escuchar "Revolver", "Rubber Soul" y "Sgt. Peppers" y después de reflexionar un poco, creo que "Rubber Soul" es el álbum que mayor impacto e inspiración ha causado en mí. Algunas de mis canciones favoritas de esta banda están aquí, pero la canción que realmente hizo la diferencia fue "In My Life", en serio, amo esa canción y es mi favorita de The Beatles, junto a "Come Together", "Something" y "Here Comes The Sun".
English review
At first, I had added "Revolver" to this chart, but I was never sure about that choice... I mean, The Beatles have so many great albums that picking just 2 is very hard for me. So, I listened to "Revolver", "Rubber Soul" and "Sgt. Peppers" again and after some reflection, I think "Rubber Soul" is the album that has caused the most impact and inspiration in me. Some of my favorite songs from this band are here, but the song that really made the difference was "In My Life," seriously, I love that song and it's my favorite Beatles song, along with "Come Together," "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun."

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!
