CONSIDERAÇÕES

Esta lista é dinâmica, e vai sendo actualizada à medida que me lembro de mais para meter (os últimos a entrar estão a negrito). Não é uma lista de “melhores álbums”; é apenas movida pelas MINHAS opiniões pessoais, logo comentários como “não percebes nada de música” por não ter metido o vosso álbum favorito são dispensáveis. Ao mesmo tempo, estão aqui a faltar algumas bandas (Pixies, James, Talking Heads, Bauhaus e mais alguns) porque nunca passei da fase de compilações, e não vou meter álbuns às cegas só “porque sim”. E por falar em compilações, tanto elas como álbuns ao vivo foram excluídos da lista, excepto por lapso.
