Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

3.5/5 Good and very important album. But could use a little more black and a little less Sabbath.

The British are forgiven

Ray Of Light by Madonna

Very good for a “my life’s really hard cause I’m famous” album

Listen to the first song and you've heard the whole album

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
