These lists

It's fine if you like Shakira and Britney but there's really no reason to listen to ALL of their albums before you die... or six Janet Jackson album for that matter. I wouldn't include more than one album from any artist on this list, maybe 2 if they have an influential and extensive discography

Lady GaGa Stan? If you don't mind dont quote my post, I'd never put gaga there so you have nothing to say. kthxbye.

Other . Gurl, does it say EVERYONE'S TASTE - ALBUMS YOU MUST OWN? No right? So I have ALL the right to name my favorite albums that actually are masterpieces and everyone should listen. I didn't even include Miley's amazing CD's because I know people like you would complain about, but I don't care. Like it or not, those albums are 10/10

I don't know if all of these are must owns, but if someone asked me what albums I would suggest buying from the my favorite artists in the industry, this would probably be my list.

Britney Spears
In the Zone
Blackout

Rihanna
Good Girl Gone Bad
Rated R

Lady Gaga
The Fame Monster

Madonna
True Blue
Like a Prayer
Ray of Light

Robyn - Robyn
Gwen Stefani - Love.Angel.Music.Baby
