The Must Have Essential Albums Music Library by [-emidius-]
is the perfect download for that person looking to start an in depth library of the best music in history. Or the person wanting to round out their existing collection. Each collection consists of the very best albums from each genre. Also represented are cross sections (sub-genres) of the genre when needed, for genres such as Jazz, Bluegrass, and so on.
In order to accomplish this I will be utilizing the best and most reputable sources available. These will include Rolling Stone, Spin, Billboard, and...well you get the point. From these I will collect for example, the top 10 lists from as many of these sources possible. Which I will then average out to create the most detailed, comprehensive, and true to fact essential top ten album list possible. When this is not possible, I will create a list with 10 of the most influential albums from that genre.
The genres included in this volume are:
Bluegrass
Blues
Classic Rock
Grunge
Jazz
Rap
R & B
Reggae
