Forums - Music Discussion - Your top 10 music albums of all time.

20th century music>>> 21st century music.
My top 10 consist of only 20th century music albums, real musicians, real singers that did not rely heavily upon technology to create music. I am not a fan of 21st century music. You do not need to be a talented singer or musician in the 21st century. Modern technology enables anyone to sing well with autotune, robotic voice over and loops.
