Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by Snowdog 
I don't pretend that this is anything but an entirely personal list of my favorite recordings. That is why Misplaced Childhood is first, the Beatles don't show up and I have The Wall as the top Pink Floyd album. A list of the Greatest ever would involve examing things like historical significance, influence and consensus of opinion. Those things were not considered in this list.

Some of this is really good... and some is too dry.

Real cool list, bro. Some similarities between your taste and mine. But also some interesting differences.
