| 5.0 classic |
| Bob Dylan Bringing It All Back Home |
| Bob Dylan Blonde on Blonde |
| Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited |
| Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks |
| David Bowie The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars |
| #9 in My All Time Favorites List: In terms of song strength, few albums can match this. Injecting the Velvet Underground formula with the wit and melancholy that only a Brit could, Bowie effectively creates a cult that still thrives to this day. |
| David Bowie Hunky Dory |
| #16 in My All Time Favorites List: Bowie's first masterpiece album, also his most impressionistic. Mixing a kaleidoscope into the cauldron of Nietzsche and Antony Newley, Bowie produced the most original Pop formula since the Lennons, Wilsons and Dylans of the '60s. You'd of been forgiven for thinking he couldn't get any better. But he would. |
| David Bowie Station to Station |
| Joy Division Closer |
| Joy Division Unknown Pleasures |
| King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King |
| From the hard rock - jazz of opener 21st Century Schizoid Man to the sonic journey of closer In The Court Of The Crimson King, this made all the other prog bands look mainstream! |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV |
| Manic Street Preachers The Holy Bible |
| My Bloody Valentine Loveless |
| A druggy, surreal masterpiece. Screaming synths, pounding guitars and murmured vocals. |
| Nick Drake Pink Moon |
| Patti Smith Horses |
| Pink Floyd The Dark Side Of The Moon |
| Impossible to sum-up; simply mankind's greatest musical achievement. Perfect. |
| Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here |
| Whereas its predecessor had dealt with grand topics such as Death, Madness, Corporal Greed and War, this is a slightly lighter affair. It is just as powerful, however, and singer and guitarist David Gilmour still says it's their best record. He might just be right! |
| Pink Floyd The Wall |
| An album with a lot of good tracks, and the occasional stunner. But fails to reach the god-like heights of Dark Side... or Wish You Were Here. |
| Pixies Doolittle |
| R.E.M. Automatic for the People |
| Michael Stipe takes center stage on this musical monument. One of the most tender and fragile albums ever, with stadium style sing-alongs like Everybody Hurts, Man On The Moon or emotionally-charged closer Find The River. Stunning |
| Radiohead OK Computer |
| Essentially the Dark Side Of The Moon for the '90's. Radiohead add their own feel to everything, and the end result is a twisted, brilliant portrait of modern society. |
| Ramones Ramones |
| Sex Pistols Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols |
| The Beatles Revolver |
| The Beatles Rubber Soul |
| The Beatles Abbey Road |
| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band |
| The Clash London Calling |
| The Clash The Clash (US version) |
| The Pogues If I Should Fall from Grace with God |
| The Pogues Rum Sodomy & the Lash |
| A great collection of songs. From all-out punk (The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn) to lush, tender ballads (A Pair Of Brown Eyes), this is really an indispensable record.r |
| The Smiths The Queen Is Dead |
| A universally popular record, due to the vast types of pop music on it. If you're looking for songs to cry to (Never Had No-One Ever) or celebrate life to (There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, obviously), this is the album. |
| The Smiths The Smiths |
| The rawest Smiths record, and a thing of pure beauty. Hand In Glove and Reel Around The Fountain both glisten with Marrs fantastic riffs and Morrisseys thoughtful yet warm lyrics. |
| The Velvet Underground The Velvet Underground & Nico |
| U2 The Joshua Tree |
| Van Morrison Astral Weeks |
