52. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band The Beach Boys, released May 16, 1966. In it, he wove elaborate layers of vocal harmonies, coupled with sound effects and unconventional instruments such as bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, Electro-Theremin, dog whistles, trains, Hawaiian-sounding string instruments, Coca-Cola cans and barking dogs, along with the more usual keyboards and guitars. Although Pet Sounds has been credited as one of the most important albums of its time, its initial release failed to reach gold status, where it reached #10 on the American Billboard 200. A heralding album in the emerging psychedelic rock style, Pet Sounds has been championed and emulated for its dramatic and revolutionary baroque instrumentation. It has been ranked at #1 in several music magazines' lists of greatest albums of all time, including New Musical Express, The Times and Mojo Magazine. It was ranked #2 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.

1. After the no. 1 album is announced, new people who haven't gotten the chance to vote will get to vote. And also people who have voted and want to change their vote will also be given the chance. The chart will then will be refresh monthly so new albums can get in or old albums can get out.
2. This second one may get a few people excited, I'm also introducing a new kind of vote. The 'irrelevant' vote. Do you have an album that you think totally doesn't deserve to be in the list. Well now everybody will have an irrelevant vote where they can choose an album that they don't like and will decrease the album marks by 1. You can only choose 1 album so think carefully.
I will explained more after the no. 1 album is announced so stay tuned.
