Favorite track(s): Stan, The Way I Am, The Real Slim Shady

Favorite track(s): Another victim of the time and place that birthed this list, a desperate hope that kids in Britain would revive rock music in the early 2000s. You figure out for yourself how that went.

Favorite track(s): what is there to say (besides that this isn't even their best album)? Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): please there was more music coming out in the 2010s that wasn't trying to salvage rock please we can't keep doing this

Favorite track(s): Right Here, Right Now, The Rockafeller Skank

Favorite track(s): an album that left me truly flabbergasted as to its widespread critical and commercial success. I can't say I wasn't entertained, I was laughing damn near the whole way through. "Are you smoking crack or something? We cannot have that behavior in this establishment."

Favorite track(s): Tanz Debil, Steh auf Berlin, Kollaps, Abstieg & Zerfall What I had hoped this list would've been full of, no wonder so many people hate it.

Favorite track(s): In the Flowers, My Girls, Summertime Clothes, Daily Routine, Bluish, Taste, Brother Sport Even if the album wasn't amazing, I'd still rate it 5 stars for the criminal underrepresentation of AnCo on this list. Heard before Previous rating: 8/10

Favorite track(s): Possible Worlds

Favorite track(s): 2 + 2 = 5, Where I End and You Begin, There There, Myxomatosis

Favorite track(s): Quiet, Life

Favorite track(s): Summer's Cauldron, Grass, That's Really Super, Supergirl, Ballet for a Rainy Day, Big Day, Mermaid Smiled, Dying Possibly the greatest permutation of 60s pop influence ever arranged. Nobody can do it like Andy (and Colin). Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Love's in Need of Love Today, Contusion, Sir Duke, I Wish, Pastime Paradise, Summer Soft, Isn't She Lovely, Black Man, As, All Day Sucker They're calling it the least bloated double album of all time. How did he do it? Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Born in the U.S.A., Cover Me, Dancing in the Dark Heard before Previous rating: 6/10

Favorite track(s): Sunshine, A Minha Menina Of the best tracks, one required an extra songwriter on top of the other two. The other is a cover. I think that says a lot.

Favorite track(s): Bracelets of Fingers, Balloon Burning, Trust, Old Man Going A most honorable mention to the non-album single Defecting Grey

Favorite track(s): Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Time After Time, She Bop

Favorite track(s): Mea culpa, Regiment, Help Me Somebody, The Jezebel Spirit, Moonlight in Glory This is what happens when you get two of history's most quirked up white boys in the studio together.

Favorite track(s): Section 43, Love, Bass Strings

Favorite track(s): an hour and a half of flavorless songwriting, derivative or outright bad vocals, and off-meter lyrics about how us Yankees don't understand Lynyrd Skynyrd or "the Southern Thing™". I couldn't wait long enough for the next exit off Highway 72.

Favorite track(s): What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4), Stem/Long Stem, Midnight in a Perfect World, What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 1 - Blue Sky Revisit)

Favorite track(s): the desire to save good ol' rock-n-roll has crossed the Pond. The results are musically the same but lyrically worse.

Favorite track(s): Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back to Black, Tears Dry on Their Own

Favorite track(s): Don't Know Why, Come Away With Me, I've Got to See You Again

Favorite track(s): Ether, Natural's Not in It, Not Great Man, Damaged Goods, I Found That Essence Rare, At Home He's a Tourist The riffs, the grooves, the lyrics and themes. It's all here. One of THE punk albums. Heard before Previous rating: 8/10

Favorite track(s): Mother's Hands, The Trenches I'll respect it for pushing my boundaries. I'm not big on musical theater/cabaret to begin with, but it's made somewhat awkward on top by the translations. A few glimpses of interesting arrangement. Overall, pretty bizarre. I'll take my Dagmar with Henry Cow or Slapp Happy instead.

Favorite track(s): just the part where he said "Latino lover mode" The worst album so far in this list's continued obsession with the death rattles of rock. How great that I'm as far away from the release of this album as this band is from the death of the glam metal they tried to replicate to astoundingly bad results.

Favorite track(s): The Good's Gone, My Generation, The Kids Are Alright, The Ox Heard before Previous rating: 7/10

Favorite track(s): El cayuco, Llego mijan, Mi chiquita quiere bembe

Favorite track(s): Spellbound, Into the Light, Arabian Knights, Halloween, Monitor, Night Shift Foundational. Too bad everyone with piercings is busy listening to Fall Out Boy instead. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): I'd Have You Anytime, My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, Let It Down, Awaiting On You All, Art of Dying There's a contest between this and Ram for greatest post-Beatles album in my heart but let's just say only one album has It's Johnny's Birthday. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

This is THE punk album for most people, including some of those commie nerds. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Spanish Castle Magic, Ain't No Telling, Little Wing, If 6 Was 9, You Got Me Floatin', Castles Made of Sand, Bold as Love Probably the least talked about of the Experience albums but it's Jimi all the same. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): You Don't Know Me, I Love You So Much It Hurts, Hey, Good Lookin'

Favorite track(s): Krautrock, The Sad Skinhead, Jennifer, Giggy Smile/ Picnic on a Frozen River, Deuxieme Tableau, It's a Bit of Pain When you start your krautrock album with a song called Krautrock, you better deliver. This album delivers. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Down to the Waterline, Six Blade Knife, Sultans of Swing, In the Gallery

Favorite track(s): WRU, Good Old Days, Ecars, Feet Music I'm frankly astonished John Zorn made it on this list in any capacity. Should've been by way of Electric Masada but whatever.

Favorite track(s): It's a bit of deviation from the typical indie mill because the lyrics were so bad that I felt truly angry at points. Get me back to the Clone High theme song ASAP.

Favorite track(s): they all sound the same. Just because your production sounds like shit doesn't turn your band into The Stooges. Back to the Seven Nation Army covers, guys.

Favorite track(s): Across the Great Divide, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up on Cripple Creek, Look Out Cleveland, King Harvest (Has Surely Come)

Favorite track(s): Return of the Grievous Angel, Brass Buttons, In My Hour of Darkness

Favorite track(s): The Modern Age, Soma, Barely Legal, Someday, Last Nite, Hard to Explain, New York City Cops After all my moaning about indie bands on this list, we finally get to the one that got it right. Is that hypocritical of me? Maybe. Heard before Previous rating: 10/10

Brian Wilson was a trailblazer for soulful white boys everywhere. Heard before Previous rating: 10/10

Favorite track(s): Let Me Love You, Beck's Bolero, I Ain't Superstitious Fine stuff but why it's the only Jeff Beck album on the list baffles me.

Favorite track(s): If you're gonna write an album this boring, make sure it's well below a duration of 80 minutes.

Favorite track(s): the whole damn thing. Pretty much everything you hope a jazz record is. Complex without losing any listenability. Every instrument has so much character but none are lost in the crowd. You'll dance, you'll cry, and you'll ask for just one more ride. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Smack My Bitch Up, Breathe, Funky Shit, Firestarter, Fuel My Fire

Favorite track(s): One Chord Wonders, New Church, Bombsite Boy Additional shoutout the single Gary Gilmore's Eyes.

Favorite track(s): I'm convinced this album was included on the list to slander the good name of the people of Ireland.

Favorite track(s): Ramble Tamble, Travelin' Band, Lookin' Out My Back Door, Run Through the Jungle, Up Around the Bend, Who'll Stop the Rain, I Heard It Through the Grapevine Dudes rock. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Let Me Drown, Fell on Black Days, Mailman, Superunknown, Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, The Day I Tried to Live, 4th of July, Nirvana and AiC are obviously great, but nothing can beat this. Chris is a beast. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Zombie, Mr. Follow Follow An unbelievable blend of revolutionary politics and the greatest grooves you'll ever hear. He's a legend for a reason. Heard before Previous rating: 9/10

Favorite track(s): Lovers in the Backseat Besides the one track, it all came and went. Should've been another UK indie album for all it was worth.

Favorite track(s): Frownland, Dachau Blues, Ella Guru, Moonlight on Vermont, Pachuco Cadaver, China Pig, Sugar 'n Spikes, Veteran's Day Poppy Heard before Previous rating: 9/10 Yes, I'm one of those people. Sue me.

Favorite track(s): Children of the Damned, 22, Acacia Avenue, The Number of the Beast, Run to the Hills Heard before Previous rating: 7/10

Favorite track(s): It's possible that this blight on Britannia goes back further than originally thought. At least they're Welsh, I guess.

Favorite track(s): Knowledge God, Criminology, Guillotine (Swordz), Glaciers of Ice, Verbal Intercourse, Ice Cream

Favorite track(s): Killing in the Name Wasn't impressed by this. de la Rocha's whiny vocals go a bit over the top and adds to the reputation that RATM fell out of touch with "the kids". Morello does pretty good, though. Also his uncle invented Kenya or some shit?

Favorite track(s): The Concept, Metal Baby, Is This Music?

Favorite track(s): For You, Nightime, Take Care, Big Black Car, Holocaust, Thank You Friends

Favorite track(s): Heart-Shaped Box, Rape Me, Dumb, All Apologies Heard before Previous rating: 8/10

Favorite track(s): River Song, Dreamer, Thoughts of You, You and I, Rainbows Pleasantly surprised by how good this ended up being. Shouldn't have doubted a Beach Boy that isn't Mike Love.

Favorite track(s): Sure Shot, B-Boys Makin' With the Freak Freak, Root Down, Sabotage, Get It Together, Futterman's Rule, Do It, Bodhisattva Vow It's hard to nail this down as as straight hip-hop album.

Favorite track(s): Taxman, Eleanor Rigby, I'm Only Sleeping, Love You To, Here, There and Everywhere, Yellow Submarine, She Said She Said, For No One, Tomorrow Never Knows Inside you there are two wolves: one of them loves Pet Sounds, the other loves Revolver.
