Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Some would say this is better than Thriller. I wouldn't go that far (Thriller is my second favorite MJ album. My first? Bad.), but this is perfection from start to finish!

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

5/5

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

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

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

Nevermind

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.

Dummy

“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!

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

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

Parallel Lines

Blondie

It's easy to forget how good of a pop album band Blondie was. Their singles were brilliant, but their albums were kinda perfect.

A headphone masterpiece, that you better hope involves wireless headphones because you are going to pull your stereo off its shelf dancing around if those headphones are wired in!
