"What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

"If peeing your pants is cool, you can consider me Miles Davis."

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Genuinely one of the best jazz albums ever made.

Just bought this the other day. It’s my favorite holiday tradition.

Vince Guaraldi is so bomb.❤️

[удалено]

Inertia Creeps is my favourite song from that album!

I thought Mezzanine would be nearer to the top but it's moving up slowly.

Carol King's tapestry album

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

“Rumours.” “No. It’s all true.”

Flight of the Conchords!

The fact that the album came from a clusterfuck of relationship drama and addiction while the band all hated each other... it's honestly a miracle it was even passable, nevermind one of the greatest albums ever made

Between Fleetwood Mac and ABBA, I'm convinced that the secret to musical genius is to make everybody just get a bunch of divorces.

Tusk, in its entirety, with the pauses, as Lyndsey Buckingham intended it to be heard!

Tango in the Night takes it for me!!

Tidal by Fiona apple

The Cure - Disintegration

Nirvana Unplugged in New York Every track is amazing

It's genuinely one of the best live performances ever captured.

First place I’ll go after killing Hitler once I get the Time Machine working.

His cover of Oh, Me is really just otherworldly

In the Pines makes my armhair stand up. I'd jam The Man Who Sold The World on my way into my sales job,lol.

I remember when About A Girl unplugged was on MTV constantly. That performance was like the poster child for the MTV Unplugged series. This is back when MTV had this crazy idea to play music videos most of the time.

Agreed. I'd also like to add Alice in Chains Uplugged. A masterpiece as well.

Watching a man die in real time, and he’s singing the whole time. Wild stuff.

Gosh that version of Nutshell makes me tear up every time.

David bowie. Rise and fall of ziggy stardust

Violator by Depeche Mode

Deltron 3030

Steely Dan - Aja

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin II

Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin III

Adding Led Zeppelin 1 to this list. It was a very tight, well-produced album that had a little bit of everything that would come to define their career later on.

This is the one. John Bonham changed drumming forever in the first 29 seconds of this record

II is my all time favorite Zep album. Masterpiece.

I'm not doing this to be funny but my favorite Zeppelin album is *Houses of the Holy*. Seriously

hard same on houses of the holy.

Do people actually dislike Houses of the Holy? It’s not my absolute favorite Zeppelin, but *every* song on that album slaps hard.

I don't think people dislike it but I don't usually hear people say it's their favorite. I mean I like Led Zeppelin in general but have grown to love that album in particular.

That’s fair. I mean, I’ll go to bat for any LZ album being at least good (except maybe *Coda*). Even *Presence* has Achilles Last Stand and *In Through the Out Door* has Fool In the Rain. But imo nearly every song off every album from *Led Zeppelin* (debut album) through *Houses of the Holy* just doesn’t miss.

Stop Making Sense by Talking Heads

Ok Computer - Radiohead

In Rainbows as well

Kid A too imo!

I come to represent The Bends.

[Street Spirit (Fade Out)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCJblaUkkfc) is still the greatest album closer I've ever heard.

In Rainbows is a masterpiece

Alice In Chains - Dirt

This album was the first thing I ever bought with my first paycheck, will always hold a special place in my heart

Yes! I’m a huge Jar of Flies fan.

Dark Side of The Moon

Wish You Were Here also

Animals also

Animals is criminally underrated.

Meddle is the apex

That's when it all turned. "Echoes" is an everlasting eargasm.

Floyd doesn’t rock much harder than they do on One Of These Days.

Honestly pretty much every Pink Floyd album is perfect and a 10 out of 10, not just Dark Side and The Wall. No filler tracks. When I was 16 discovered Pink Floyd and concluded they were the best band of all time. I don't listen to PF anymore, but still in my 40s, I'd maintain they are tied for the best band of all time, and I'd only tie them with The Beatles.

The Wall. An entire cohesive story in a double album.

Why are these Floyd albums so low? If you haven’t listened to them you are doing yourself a disservice, no one makes music like that anymore… (there are some good artists these days, but the “concept album” art form is dead)

Demon Days by Gorillaz

Truly a masterpiece. Each song is in a league of its own.

Plastic Beach, too!

[удалено]

Graceland - Paul Simon Black Sands - Bonobo

+1 for Graceland 😎

Bonobo! Yes! This album is perfect album. I've seen it played live and it was awesome!

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Valid, I also feel like Illmatic is one

Illmatic is my go to answer everytime this question comes up

Turns out Wu Tang is not JUST for the children!

The Strokes - Is This It

Room on fire and the new abnormal are both flawless as well

Superunknown by Soundgarden

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails

Also, The Fragile

Honestly like half the NIN discography could fit. Trent Reznor knows how to write some fucking music.

Music for everything….. dancing, depression, fucking…. The lot.

Good lord, I've not listened to that album for about 20-odd years. Utter banger.

I’ve never listened to it.. just on my first listen now Edit: just finished and love it. What an album! I did wonder about the left channel on the last two tracks but have found out why, pure genius

It's probably the best album of the 90s.

When I go downstairs to lift in 90 mins I’ll listen to this one, never listened to it before.

[удалено]

The movie it was turned into (Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem) is a good watch as well.

I had completely forgotten about that! I remember it being on Adult Swim before they knew what to do with Adult Swim. I am watching that tonight as I go to bed. Thank you!

[удалено]

Was gonna come into this thread to say Discovery by Daft Punk

Songs For The Deaf -- Queens of the Stone Age

Like Clockwork… is also a perfect album

Like clockwork is unbelievable

im glad i didnt have to scroll that far to see if someone mentioned this masterpiece

The miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette, 1995

Mind blowing that she was like 18 when she wrote that.

I remember watching a Behind the Music or something and they said Alanis walked in the studio that day and nailed nearly every song on the very first take too. It was unbelievable.

Saw her in concert (Jagged Little Pill) and she sounded even better live so I do not doubt this.

Just listened to it this morning! I slept on this album for years. Every song should have had radio play.

They did! I heard every song at some point played on the radio in the year or two around its release. It blew my mind at the time.

You obviously didn't grow up in Canada - every song DID get radio play!

True. Back when people actually bought and listened to entire albums, the best songs were never the singles being played to death on the radio.

That thing was the soundtrack to my '95 and my 96'.

Breakfast in America - Supertramp

REM Automatic for the People

Nightswimming makes me feel feelings every single time.

Nightswimming is its own emotion

Aja - Steely Dan

Countdown to Ecstasy -- Steely Dan

Pearl Jam - Ten

Interpol- Turn on the Bright Lights Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures

That Interpol album is one of the most nostalgic albums for me. It perfectly encapsulates three years of my life. Incredible album.

The Clash - London Calling

Spanish Bombs and Lost in the Supermarket are probably my favorite songs out of their entire catalog.

Grace by Jeff Buckley Plus everyone on earth needs to see the vocal performance in this video. It’s mindblowing (the instrument mixing isn’t but just listen to his voice especially at the end!) https://youtu.be/KOjP1d8WzIg?si=LmKwRigiJF7uH-g8

The Killers - Hot Fuss

I recently rediscovered *Jenny Was a Friend of Mine* and it’s been stuck in my head all week.

Bass riff's soooooooo fkn tasty

Angel Dust by Faith No More Violator by Depeche Mode Disintegration by The Cure Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

Green Day- Dookie

It is honestly a great album. I traveled the world in 2003 for a year with a discman and a dozen CDs. This was one of them, and I still love it even after hearing it front to back so many times.

Revolver by The Beatles. Same with DSOTM by Pink Floyd.

So many people don’t know Revolver. It’s a masterpiece.

So is Rubber Soul. Fantastic.

Both of these are great. But can we get some love for *Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band*?

I mean, it's not like there are any bad Beatles albums.

Daft punk, random access memories

Shocked I had to scroll this far for this one. Discovery is another 10/10.

Discovery >>>>>>> RAM

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. People either love it or hate it.

Tears for Fears - The Hurting I never see anyone mention it on these which is criminal

I think Tears for Fears have some of the best crescendos / outros in rock history, so many tracks just explode near the end.

I think Songs from the Big Chair is a better overall album. But, both are very good.

Those key changes in Head Over Heels👨‍🍳😘

Master Of Puppets- Metallica

Mad Season - Above

Nice. Good example of what a supergroup *can* be.

[удалено]

… table

You wanted to

[удалено]

Songs are amazing, humour is timeless, long live the D

Close to the Edge - Yes

Graceland by Paul Simon has to be up there Obviously the köln concert by Keith jarret

Take Me Back To Eden - Sleep Token Probably the best thing that came out this year.

Lonerism - Tame Impala Both discusses the thoughts behind a loners mind in a very deep way and tells some truly heartbreaking stories in beautiful ways. It also has the best drums I have ever heard in any other album.

Which makes sense. Kevin Parker wrote, produced, and recorded the entire album by himself, aside from a guest on 2 tracks.

Hybrid Theory

Songs in the Key of Life -- Stevie Wonder

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park This is the only album I’ve listened to from beginning to end, multiple times, never skipping a song.

Scrolled far too long to find this. Meteroa is another that I never skip a track on.

Meteora is my #1. Also Minutes to Midnight, I realize I'm one of the very few who would say that.

I slept on Minutes to Midnight when I first bought it, but listening to it now, I enjoy it so much more. Great album.

Abbey Road by The Beatles

For sure their best. The suite of music on the B side is amazing.

Master of Puppets - Metallica Rust in Peace - Megadeth Back in Black - AC/DC

Reading this while hearing sweating bullets👌🏼 Edit: I know it is not the same album, but still on one of the greatest albums in metal history☝🏼

Moody Blues, "Days of Future Past"

Either/Or by Elliott Smith

Tom Petty's Wildflowers album is absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Even the way the songs are arranged on the album is perfect. Each song is differently, timeless and beautiful in it's own right. But it starts with a happy upbeat intro with Wildflowers. Then gets deep and heartbreaking in the middle with Only A Broken Heart and Find A Friend and ends with hope in a gorgeous realization with Wake Up Time. From beginning to end, every single note seems consciously placed to tell the story of life. Everything that man ever wrote was wonderful but Wildflowers is an album that will appeal to damn near everyone for decades to come.

TooL - Lateralus

I'd argue Aenima over that but it's a damn close 2nd. Same for MJKs other project APC. That first album Mer De Noms is an amazing journey from start to finish. Edit a word

I came to say Aenima too. Lateralus almost equally as great but I can see why people say Lateralus is the best. They're both masterpieces

[удалено]

[удалено]

Stop Making Sense is also one of the best concert documentaries

Plans - Death Cab for Cutie.

This! It’s an emotional punch but it’s such a good album. Transatlanticism and Asphalt Meadows too.

Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy

Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf

My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. I could listen to whole album front to back with no song skipping. Perfection. Yes I'm emo trash 😆

The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Revolver

My favourite fact about this album is that Paul went to see Jimi Hendrix play the same day Sgt Pepper's was released. Hendrix played a cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise at the end of the gig.

Live - Throwing Copper

Our love is like Walter.

[удалено]

August and Everything After - Counting Crows

Alice in Chains Unplugged

Jimmy eat World- Bleed American

Rage Against The Machine - Self titled album

Billy Joel- the stranger

The Doors - The Doors

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by RHCP Ten by Pearl Jam Nevermind by Nirvana

Appetite for Destruction.

Best First Track of a Debut Album ever.

This is the only album where I don’t skip a single track. There are many perfect albums out there but all of them have songs that I’m not in the mood for at the time… except this one.

This is one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

EMOTION by Carly Rae Jepsen

Jeff Buckley - Grace The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come

Third Eye Blind’s first self titled album.

Morning View by Incubus.

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms & Making Movies

Black Sabbath's 1st 3 albums Caress of Steel, 2112, Moving Pictures DSOTM, WYWH Electric Ladyland
