Nathan's Massive Album Project Part 1 (1940-1983) [OLD]

This list is my determination to present the definitive list of quality and popular albums. This list combines albums on Acclaimed Music, both in the 3000 and the 'bubbling under' section, the top 5000 albums on Rate Your Music, and the 5000 most popular albums on Rate Your Music (excluding albums rated below 3.2/5). Even still there are albums I adore that are not present on the list, but this doesn't represent my opinion but seeks to accumulate critics' and audience's opinions in one list. Presented in roughly chronological order in terms of release date, not recording date. This list excludes video game music and many anime soundtracks due to a bias in RYM's user base.
