Desktop Wallpapers featuring a variety of important albums from various Musical artists. Music is very personal. I get that. I’m not saying the albums here were the most popular, or the best, or that I personally like them, but they were probably important albums. More will be added over time and I’ve started to organize them against the Rolling Stone Top 500. Yes, I have a long way to go.
For each one, I took a color from an element of the individual album’s artwork for the background. I don’t know why I chose that color, but it just felt right. Unless you make a very convincing argument, I’m not going to make another version with a different color. Within each tab, the albums are listed alphabetically based on band name or artist last name.
If there are any albums you may want that are not below, leave a comment at the bottom of the page or Contact Me with your reasonable request and I’ll see what can be done. If you do make a request, think about it and be specific. I’m not a fan of designing and posting what was requested, only to be immediately asked to do it differently or in a different design treatment.
