That's what I call Michael's top 100 albums list
I have returned to the land of the living to give you unworthy children a list of the greatest musics ever placed to recording devices of your choosing.
My list is a little different. Instead of picking 100 albums that I compiled to seem really cool and hopefully win the respect of people who probably don't even know who I am love I decided to pick those 100 albums that changed music for me. So please save the "WTF IS THIS ALBUM ON HERE FOR???" for another time.
Note: With the exception of the first five there isn't any significance to the order of this list.
With just a pinch of cheating I only picked one album per artist.
God only knows if it will ever happen but it's my intention to go back and write an entry for each album, explaining what role this album played in my life.
