Blackstar
David Bowie
An amazing final statement that is both reflective and hopeful. It is possibly slightly overrated because of the fact that it came out two days before he died, but still an incredibly strong last record. "Lazarus" is a top 10, maybe top 5 Bowie song.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
No album has any right to have two ballads as big as "Tuesday's Gone" and "Free Bird."

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
I know this is an unhip answer to 'favorite Steely Dan album,' but I think this is the strongest collection of songs they ever put out. "Barrytown" is an underrated classic.

Sign 'O' The Times
Prince
When the ballads are too frequent and the pitching up of the vocals take over, it can be a bit of a drag. The classic double record that should've been one. But that one, hot damn.

This is the crossover Metallica record, and there are good moments, but this loses a lot of what made Metallica special for me.

Rip It Up
Orange Juice
Totally new to me. I can see how this would've been a really unique synthesis of influences and sound at the time, but since then, others have done it better.
