Another classic. Haven’t listened to this in a while

Sheer Heart Attack by Queen

Not the best queen album for me. Don’t listen to this often as a result

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

Awesome album, a little bit of everything done so well

LOVE this album

Garbage by Garbage

classic! this still holds its own

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

Not sure this deserves to be in the list.
