“Starlings” has to be one of the finest opening tracks on an album that most causal music fans have never heard. Just breathtaking.

Besides 3 Feet High & Rising, this is easily the greatest use of samples ever on an album!

Where to begin? A revolution in sound. It didn't last, but the Alternative nation was an incredible era of music to grow up in.

The beauty of this record never ceases to amaze me. Homemade samples, scratches and Beth Gibbons’ immaculate voice.

“Inner City Life”, along with “Block Rockin’ Beats” by the Chemical Brothers opened my mind to EDM in high school. I’ve loved it ever since!

Bowie doesn’t get enough credit for being a kickass piano player!

Britpop 4 life!!!

Double the fun, double the Max, soluble the brilliance of Lindsey!!!

The sound of the resistance!

1,000 hip hop samples were taken from this bad boy!

The perfect double album, arranged, performed and produced to the nines!

One of the concept albums that never really leave my rotation. A glorious story of betrayal, murder and redemption.

This is just fine. I would prefer Bob Marley or even The Mighty Mighty Bosstones...but this is just fine!

So many great Aerosmith songs throughout their career, but this is the one true classic, 5-star Aerosmith album!

It’s hard to pick a fave, but I think this is mine for the best post-Beatles album by any member!

Biting, devastating, hilarious. All of the feelings with this album.

The king, killing the game that only he could play!
