5.0 classic
Black Sabbath Paranoid
The best Sabbath album ever. IN fact, one of the greatest in general
Joy Division Unknown Pleasures
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King
'Moonchild' drags out just a tad. But whatever.
My Bloody Valentine Loveless
Hands down the best "shoegaze" album of all time!
Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here
The Cure Disintegration
Probably their best, honestly, there were times when I didn't think so, but now, I accepted it.

4.5 superb
Black Sabbath Master of Reality
Black Sabbath Black Sabbath
Earth-shattering debut from Sabbath. Stills sounds fresh today.
Burzum Filosofem
'Rundgang' should have been cut down to 1/4 of running time.
Joy Division Closer
King Crimson Red
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin II
I'm going to have to go with this as my favorite Zeppelin album.
Pink Floyd The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
Pink Floyd's debut is the quintessential psychedelic album. I always found "Pre-Dark Side Floyd" the most interesting.
Pink Floyd Animals
Rush Moving Pictures
Santana Abraxas
Slayer Reign In Blood
Talking Heads Remain in Light
The Cure Pornography
The Cure's darkest album. A very "cold" sound.
The Doors The Doors
Great early psychedelic release with two weak filler tracks to drop the rating, 'Alabama Song' and 'Back Door Man'.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience Electric Ladyland
Probably the best of the Hendrix trio. The creativity soars on this.
The Velvet Underground The Velvet Underground & Nico

4.0 excellent
Alice in Chains Dirt
Amon Duul II Yeti
A great psychedelic/prog from these "teutonic" giants. My only complaint is it's a bit dragged out toward the end. But still worth 4 stars.
Burzum Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Camel Mirage
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Safe As Milk
Cream Disraeli Gears
Deep Purple Machine Head
Deep Purple Deep Purple In Rock
Dinosaur Jr. You're Living All Over Me
Echo and The Bunnymen Ocean Rain
Elvis Costello This Year's Model
Genesis Foxtrot
I personally think this is Genesis' magnum opus.
Iron Maiden The Number Of The Beast
Jethro Tull Aqualung
Kraftwerk The Man-Machine
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV
I know this is considered their magnum opus. I can understand that. It is fantastic. But for me it's a little less exciting than 2.
Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy
Mayhem De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
This band's history and their sound is transformed into true sinister sounding music.
Metallica Master Of Puppets
Metallica Ride The Lightning
For me, this the peak Metallica album. I can say it's my favorite of theirs.
Morbid Angel Altars of Madness
Nirvana Nevermind
Oasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Great dense production. Unfortunately, The 'untitled tracks' are unnessecary. Ruins the flow.
Pearl Jam Ten
Pink Floyd Meddle
Poison (DE) Into the Abyss
Unfortunately, A very overlooked ep/album/demo (?).
Public Image Ltd. Metal Box
Radiohead OK Computer
Rush A Farewell To Kings
Rush Permanent Waves
Rush Hemispheres
Santana Santana
Slayer Seasons In The Abyss
Slowdive Souvlaki
Soundgarden Superunknown
Talking Heads Fear of Music
The Beatles Revolver
The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Chameleons Script of the Bridge
A "post-punk" / "goth" classic. A very washed-out sound and that famous 80's "cold" production.
The Cure Seventeen Seconds
The Cure Faith
The Doors Strange Days
The Flaming Lips The Soft Bulletin
The Jimi Hendrix Experience Are You Experienced
The Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream
The Smiths The Queen Is Dead
The Stooges Fun House
The Stooges The Stooges
The Zombies Odessey and Oracle
Ulver Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler
Wishbone Ash Argus
Yes Close to the Edge
This is definitely the peak of their discography.
Yes Fragile

3.5 great
At the Gates Slaughter of the Soul
Bathory Blood Fire Death
Bathory Bathory
Bathory Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Bathory The Return of the Darkness and Evil
'85?? Insane. This man really took the sinister vibe and upped it to 11.
Bathory Hammerheart
Black Sabbath Vol. 4
Blue Cheer Vincebus Eruptum
Boards of Canada Music Has the Right to Children
Agh, I really want to give this a higher rating, It's so cool, but I just can't, due to many filler tracks. My favorites: Turquoise Hexagon Sun , Roygbiv , Rue the Whirl , Aquarius, Smokes Quantity
Burzum Det Som Engang Var
Burzum Burzum
Can Tago Mago
If Aumgn and Peking O were omitted, mind you, that's nearly 30 minutes of nonsense that is skipped, otherwise, this would be higher, maybe even flawless.
Can Ege Bamyasi
'Soup' is a let-down, especially the free-form half got carried away.
Candlemass Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Cocteau Twins Treasure
Country Joe And The Fish Electric Music for the Mind and Body
Darkthrone Transilvanian Hunger
Death Scream Bloody Gore
Death Leprosy
Dissection Storm of the Light's Bane
Electric Wizard Dopethrone
Emperor In the Nightside Eclipse
Entombed Left Hand Path
Exodus Bonded by Blood
Frank Zappa Hot Rats
Funkadelic Maggot Brain
Peak "psychedelic funk rock" right here. THis might be the best from the P-Funk collective. Unfortunately, the last two tracks lower the rating for me.
Gang of Four Entertainment!
Genesis Selling England by the Pound
Like their predecessor, they sometimes capture a sound I like, but then it gets a little too wankish, maybe it's the overt "Britishness".
Gentle Giant Octopus
Grateful Dead Live/Dead
Hawkwind Space Ritual
Hiroki Kikuta Secret of Mana: OST
Immortal Sons of Northern Darkness
Immortal At the Heart of Winter
Epic and slick 'black-metal'! One of the best.
Immortal Pure Holocaust
Iron Maiden Powerslave
Iron Maiden Somewhere In Time
Judas Priest Screaming For Vengeance
Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka Earthbound
Kenji Yamamoto Super Metroid
Koji Kondo The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time OST
It's really hard to rate game soundtracks as a standalone.
Koji Kondo The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask OST
Kraftwerk Computer World
I think this is their best, at least, arguably, the most influential. Regardless of that - personally, it's my favorite of theirs.
Kraftwerk Trans-Europe Express
Kyuss Welcome To Sky Valley
Lift to Experience The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads
If it wasn't for the long silence on the last track, it would be one of the best albums.
Love Forever Changes
Melvins Houdini
Mercyful Fate Don't Break The Oath
Michiru Yamane Castlevania: Symphony of the Night OST
Miles Davis On the Corner
My Bloody Valentine Isn't Anything
Nobuo Uematsu Final Fantasy VI: Original Soundtrack
Pink Floyd A Saucerful Of Secrets
Porcupine Tree In Absentia
R.E.M. Murmur
REM's debut, probably the best album from them.
Rush 2112
The start of 'Rush' as their own unique group. Not quite as strong as their upcoming albums
Satyricon Nemesis Divina
Sepultura Arise
Sepultura Beneath The Remains
Sigur Ros Agætis byrjun
Wow, the feel to this album is so ethereal and dreamy. A bit long, but still a solid release
Slayer Hell Awaits
Slayer South Of Heaven
Slint Spiderland
Dark, bleak, sparse, minimal feel to it. This is a classic.
Slowdive Just for a Day
Supertramp Crime Of The Century
Talking Heads More Songs About Buildings and Food
Talking Heads Speaking in Tongues
Television Marquee Moon
The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East
The Band Music from Big Pink
The Beatles Rubber Soul
The Beatles Abbey Road
The Cure The Head on the Door
The Jimi Hendrix Experience Axis: Bold as Love
The Moody Blues In Search of the Lost Chord
A big step up from their predecessor, out goes the corny orchestral bits, in with a much more dreamier 'psychedelic' atmosphere.
The Police Synchronicity
The Stone Roses The Stone Roses
The Stooges Raw Power
The Strokes Is This It
The Who Who's Next
This Heat Deceit
Tool Lateralus
U2 The Joshua Tree
I like the feel of this album, I'd rate it higher but too bad "Trip Through Your Wires" really ruins the flow

If you don't know, I have some beef with a lot of "long" albums. I kinda have the attention span of a squirrel when it comes to 60 or minute releases. This holds up right until it gets to the last few tracks.
Styx The Grand Illusion
Suicidal Tendencies Suicidal Tendencies
T. Rex Electric Warrior
Tame Impala Lonerism
Tangerine Dream Rubycon
