Top 40 Greatest Music Albums by WBtC 
What I am aiming to make is a list of what albums influenced music the most, so I am trying to keep my personal opinion out of it for the most part. Also, I will be ignoring compilation albums despite some excellent ones existing due to an intention to focus on albums rather than a series of singles. Live albums, however, are fair game. I will add commentary on the decisions as I have time to do so.

Pretty dope thing, but I do question the importance of Appetite for Destruction. Top 10 is splendid
