| This was BTBAM's first album on Victory, meaning they had a lot to prove if they wanted to stay on their roster. And prove themselves they did. Dirty fuckin' metal is what this album is, with a softer interlude or two thrown in the mix, just to lighten the mood a bit. One of my favorite metal albums, because every song sounds distinctly different... BTBAM always knows how to keep things fresh. |

| Reminiscent of The Killers' Hot Fuss, or maybe even Day & Age in some places, FTP have stepped it up tenfold from their first release with their new album Supermodel. Rich in melody and catchy pop beats, the band is making a statement that they are here to stay, despite their failings in the past. |

| Impeccable songwriting. Each song flows beautifully into the next. Vernon's falsettos take the driver's seat on these songs, moving them forward with confidence. The full-band approach is refreshing compared to For Emma. For Emma is good in its rawness, but Bon Iver's self-titled has a sense of knowing what its made of, where it's going, and it has a purpose. One of the most melodically gorgeous albums of our era. Vernon shows that his musicianship is greater than we could have imagined. #1 in Pitchfork's list for best albums of 2011. |
| Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago | 4.5 |
| Fleetwood Mac Rumours | 5.0 |
| Just an obvious classic. This is the album, for FWM, that influenced countless artists and music as a whole. This album is basically their greatest hits without the title of greatest hits. This is the album that, when talking about or listening to Fleetwood Mac, one turns to as a reference point. |

| This is the perfect album. Everything came together just right. Staley and Cantrell in their prime, with a little success under their belts, giving them some room to breathe in the studio. The definition of grunge, this album is my favorite by my favorite band of the "grunge artists." Quite simply one of the best albums ever made. |

Glory Fades" and "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot." Both of those tracks got 4s, or excellent from me. Final score of 4.8 which rounds up to a 5. This is the album that first got me into Brand New. I saw them when they toured for it. I love every song. They are great musicians, they need to release more albums. |

| 1967 was a good year for music. The Doors' self-titled, Sgt. Pepper, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I always knew I was born in the wrong era. I would have thrived in the 60s! All of these 1967 albums defined rock and roll in one way or another, so I think I'll just leave it at that. Also, Jimi Hendrix knew his way around a guitar. Listen to those bluesy riffs... they're awesome! |

| The Doors The Doors | 5.0 |
| A rock and roll masterpiece. Jim Morrison's voice is their signature, low and booming. This album defines rock and roll and classic rock at that. You just have to listen to it to see what I mean... this album is in a league of its own. Music for a true hippie. |

| Led Zeppelin is iconic and still relevant today, despite that it's been over 30 years since their disbanding. Why? They must have done something right. What I like best about this album is that it's songs you don't usually hear on the radio. This album came out when they had already had success. They were free to do whatever they pleased, and with freedom comes great music. |

With many guest vocalists, Nujabes keeps it fresh. They are not bound to one vocalist. One of my favorite albums. It has the "I-can-listen-to-it-over-and-over" factor. |

| Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues | 5.0 |
| Fleet Foxes' follow-up to their debut self-titled is even more folksy, which I didn't think was possible after listening to their debut. They still amaze with impressive vocal harmonies, but this time around, they have a more mature sound. They've taken a few steps forward in the growth of their sound. |
| Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes | 5.0 |
| For a debut album, this is pretty remarkable. The vocal harmonies, the melodies; everything comes together in just the right way. Often compared to CSNY, Fleet Foxes is doing music the proper way in a world that no longer cares about "proper" music. Listen to any popular music radio station, and then listen to Fleet Foxes and there will be no comparison, as far as raw talent goes. |
| The Tallest Man on Earth The Wild Hunt | 5.0 |
| The Wild Hunt is an honest and earnest effort from a man and his guitar (and piano). Intricate acoustic guitar work, unique vocals, and heartfelt lyrics makes this album one to listen to again and again. If I had to take 5 albums onto a desert island, this one would be on the list. Favorite song - "Kids On the Run" |

| Obviously Wilco's best effort to date... and I don't think they'll ever top it. It's a masterpiece. One reviewer put it well: it begs the questions what is success? What is failure? And what is happiness? Jeff Tweedy was lost in 2002, using drugs and contemplating life's biggest questions. Sometimes, in this case especially, that's just what you want for an album to be great. |

| Say Anything ...Is a Real Boy | 5.0 |
| This is the music from The Full Monty... in that it's honest. Max Bemis bares all in ...Is A Real Boy, but that's not all, folks. The music is innovative and the music theory is brilliant. I find myself, still, to this day, listening to certain parts and being like "what a perfect transition" and "I can't believe he went to that chord there." It's just wonderful listening to this album. |
| Brand New The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me | 5.0 |
| This album is raw and inspired... there are musical mistakes, but they just let them stay there. I think that shows that they wanted a certain raw quality about it. Lacey's vocals are all over the place, loud, soft, screaming... but only when necessary. This album is an emotional roller coaster. |

| The Beatles Hey Jude | 4.0 |
| The Beatles Revolver | 5.0 |
| This album is just a unique collection of well-written songs. No particular meaning behind the album as a whole, but there is much diversity. The Beatles were starting to grow up, as this album was released in 1965, 4 years before their opus Abbey Road. That's what makes it so impressive -- the Beatles threw together a bunch of songs that were finally moving in the more experimental direction of their later days. One might not even classify this album as one of their later albums. I would argue that it is, just based on the sound that they achieve. Every song is different. If you've never heard Revolver before, you will be listening, and thinking to yourself "I wonder what comes next!" |
| The Beatles Yellow Submarine | 3.5 |
| The Beatles The Beatles | 4.0 |

| The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band | 5.0 |
| One of the more "fun" albums out there. The Beatles try something different with Sgt. Pepper's; they pretend to be a different band. So many classic songs on this record, including Ringo's vocal hit "With a Little Help From My Friends" and "A Day In the Life," arguably the Beatles' best song ever. Some also argue that this record is their best... it's in my top 3 for sure. |
| The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour | 4.5 |
| The best band of all time. |
| The Beatles Abbey Road | 5.0 |
| My favorite album by my favorite band. From "Come Together" to "Something" to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" to "Here Comes the Sun," this album is the Beatles' opus. It's perfect. It was the culmination of years and years of being international superstars and making music your main focus in life. The Beatles were quite simply the best at what they did, and Abbey Road is the exclamation point at the end of their sentence of a career. |
| Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon | 4.5 |
| Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here | 5.0 |
| Arguably the best album of all time. Pink Floyd had free range to do whatever they wanted post-Dark Side of the Moon, so they used the opportunity to jab at the music industry. "Have a Cigar" is the best example of this. This was their album to really say what they feel. |
| Pink Floyd Animals | 5.0 |
| Some of the reviews on here sum it up perfectly. Animals is a critique of the society that spawned it. What a good way of putting it, right there. Now I don't need to say much, except that I could listen to this album and only this album for the rest of my life. It never gets old. It's perfect. |

| The Mars Volta Frances the Mute | 4.5 |
| The Mars Volta De-Loused in the Comatorium | 5.0 |
| I don't put much recent music as a 5, but De-Loused and I go way back. I had a band in high school, and we were all obsessed with this album. The story, the music, their general attitude toward music, we loved it all. We wanted to be The Volta. This album is a work of art. |
| Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin IV | 4.5 |
| That one song... you know the one. |
| Coheed and Cambria In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 | 4.5 |
| Coheed and Cambria The Second Stage Turbine Blade | 4.5 |
| The Dear Hunter Act I: The Lake South, the River North | 4.0 |
| The Dear Hunter Act II: The Meaning of, & All Things Regarding Ms. Leading | 5.0 |
| One of the most incredibly orchestrated albums of this age. Released in 2007, at a time when there wasn't much going on that really impressed anybody, The Dear Hunter defied all expectations, and continues to do so. This is a dynamic album, where no two minutes of it sound alike. It's an animal that is constantly changing until arriving at its foreboding conclusion. Well done to the mastermind who also wrote Between the Heart and the Synapse. |
| The Receiving End of Sirens Between the Heart and the Synapse | 4.5 |
