For reasons I've already mentioned before, I like to maintain a separate list of non-metal albums. Although the list of non-metal albums is significantly shorter, it was way more difficult to narrow it down than the metals. These albums come from genres that are not in my wheelhouse, and I find it harder to find the words to describe my thoughts. After playing around with the list for about a week I finally settled on this glorious top 10.
