Top 100 Greatest Albums (According to this guy)

“ Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman;  And from that moment, you'll be out of place and underdressed;  I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it;  Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring… ” The mid 00s saw a boom in the emo and punk pop genre, with new bands smashing into the UK charts. The likes of Paramore and Fallout Boy, among the more popular emo-pop bands, were joined by the ever intriguing Panic! At The Disco. With an ever-increasing popularity and widening audience, it is their debut album that enters my list at 44. Alongside the popular song from the album, ‘I Write Sins Not Tragedies’, we have a plethora of incredible songs, pulling in a vast array of musical styles.
