20 Greatest albums

The votes have been counted.

Read further down in the post…..

———–

I hereby challenge all readers to put out their personal list of the 20 Greatest albums of all time.
Top 15 /10 is also appreciated.

Use the comments section in this post or check out our Facebook page.

The poll will be open till Tuesday’ish.

The rules:

ONLY 5 Bob Dylan albums allowed
It’s an album list, but 2 exceptions are allowed (Greatest Hits/Very Best/..)
This is meant to cover artists that didn’t really put out many “albums”, typically older music 40/50s.

–

Again: Don’t take theses lists so seriously ! It’s meant to be FUN.

——————–

It was a great poll to host, and we got lists in from 52 musicologists.

notes:

It’s nice to see (though hardly a surprise) 3 Dylan albums on top (as on my list)
lists with fewer than 5 did not count
Live albums did not count, including my own “Live @ San Quentin”, as stated above.. this will be a separate poll
