Hey everypony, this is finally here.
Assuming I don't accidentally this thread again that is.
This is by no means a list of my favorite albums. Not even best albums. These are all just music at its most creative points and are all so different from each other these are all different from each other. If you're looking for these to all be albums you've heard, GTFO right now, this should be a reference guide for all you aspiring music nerds. This is just the barebones version of the list. I definitely will want to add genres, years, and album covers later on.
