The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Quintessential Smashing Pumpkins, Cherub Rock, Today, Disarm and Rocket remain some of Pumpkins' best songs both musically and lyrically

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

The first album I ever heard. Still a stone cold masterpiece even if my music tastes have expanded beyond the fab four since then.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

3/5

A apocalyptic synth record with a strange religious fervor. Not very hit driven but an interesting listen all the same

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

Dylan's Magnum Opus, a steady string of folk masterpieces including Visions of Johanna, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands and Just Like a Woman. Oft imitated never bettered.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

Talking Heads have a great songwriting prowess in David Byrne, but their sophomore album just doesn't reach the heights of their debut or even the album that followed this

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

An elaborate attack of music that struggles to maintain its quality by its end, Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood's music however stands the test of time and no one can disagree that Mr Blue Sky is a stone cold classic

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

2/5

Lo-fi trip hop that belongs on the soundtrack of a mid tier 90s UK stoner movie.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Olympia 64

Jacques Brel

4/5

Scott 4

Scott Walker

2/5

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

2/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

As iconic as it's front cover is, Aladdin Sane fails to reach the lofty heights of it's predecessor in continuing Ziggy Stardust, but as a stand alone album the only true misstep is in Bowie's Rolling Stones cover. A gracious and bolstering farewell to The Spiders from Mars.

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

Paris 1919

John Cale

3/5

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

5/5

An era perhaps best short lived given how Bowie was living at the time, but the grandeur of Station to Station is a masterstroke of The Thin White Duke which eventually led to The Berlin Trilogy. It's title track is one of the most powerful album openers in music and from there it's quality never falters. Few artist can claim multiple masterpieces, but this is definitely one of Bowie's.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

5/5

A stunning, almost ethereal masterpiece. Mitchell bares every piece of her soul on Blue and it's lost none of its power 50 years after release.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

3/5

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex
