It's Beck...it's great.

God Save Johnny Rotten, this is the Sex Pistols! Great punk energy, even without the musicality.

The start of the "girl band" in rock, this album is pure pop/rock joy from start to finish.

They're correct, this is my new favourite band. Great garage sound and energy.

Tears For Fears' Songs From The Big Chair is the kind of album that one can go back to again and again and learn new and wonderful things about this great duo.

great voice, classic album sound.

The original punk sound was birthed in Seattle by The Sonics. A very important piece of Seattle's rock & roll history.

My first purchase, this album holds a special place in my musical heart. Terrific Stones from start to finish.

Honest and raw, this album oozes truth.

A particularly gloomy period for Robert Smith and The Cure that resulted in some truly spectacular gothic rock.

Neil Young and the various incarnations of Crazy Horse had been playing together for more than a decade, but this is certainly one of the best expressions of the musical simpatico that these musicians have with each other. A less noisy affair than many other NY & CH efforts, it's no less powerful in the ease with which these tunes are rendered. "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)" addresses the rise of punk in the late 70s, and its sound is closely associated with what most fans think of as the sound of the lineup. Ruse Never Sleeps, indeed.

Raw Power is definitely underselling it, this album blows the doors off. The Stooges are full on here, and it's joyous to listen to.

Massive Attack, way ahead of its time.

Terrific Green Day.

Meh.

Geddy Lee, screecher extraordinaire. 3 incredibly talented musicians that exemplify why 3 member rock bands, with the right personnel, can create and perform some of the most powerful rock music.

Nothing to say, it's Deep Damn Purple!

Early James Brown is the best James Brown! A stellar selection of songs and performance.

If you like punk, you must hear the Buzzcocks. More accomplished musicians than most of their punk peers, the Buzzcocks are pure energy.

This is a must-have album from the gentle soul that was Jimi Hendrix. No wonder that Clapton freaked when he first saw Hendrix play, since he was to follow him onstage, which he refused to do.

Mark Knopfler, great guitarist. Dire Straits, great band.

Iggy's best album.

One can see the genesis of Gorillaz in this album. Well done.

Jethro Tull at one of their peaks of creativity.

What a tremendous and soulful mashup of post-punk/new-wave Irish folk music. More accessible than Van Morrison.

The WHO at their very apex.

Moby's ambient expressions that are so hauntingly beautiful. Should be in everyone's library.

Roger Waters' recollections or tales told by his family of London during the Blitz. Pink Floyd's magnum opus.

Dark and ominous.

Dark and ominous.

Slow and plodding.

Wonderful, earthy and moody, beautiful vocals.

Who is The Mars Volta? A greatly under-rated and amazing band.

Wild and smooth, Mingus defines latter-day jazz for Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

Excellent.

Where would Zero 7 or Bob Moses be without Radiohead? Outstanding.

Harry Nilsson was an odd and wonderful artist, this is a great album. You know these songs, even if you've never heard of Harry.
