Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by loudquiettime 
I've started a project of going back through my music collection and critically listening to and grading my favorites while also exploring music I haven't heard before. My rating system is heavily skewed towards nostalgia and my personal listening tastes but also allows space for albums that I don't particularly enjoy but can appreciate nonetheless. This list is a work in progress that I'll be updating as I work through my library and explore new music.

These songs came out when I first started getting into indie music and helped get me interested in similar artists and the genre as a whole.
