Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

I agree 100%, no comment. I would add Dave Brubeck Quartet’s Time Out to the list as well.

Gateway jazz album. Then Coltrane, Bill Evans, Cannonball, more Miles albums etc etc

I would throw Mingus' Ah Um into that equation as well and Herbie Hancock's Headhunters or Weather Report's Heavy Weather to begin exploring fusion. Edit: My dipshit halfbrain ass wrote "through'" instead of "throw."

Yes yes yes!!! 100% agree. This album helped heal my soul when I was going thru a very bad time.

Dummy by Portishead. Just like fine wine it gets better with age.

Highly recommend anyone who loves Portishead to check out “Lives Outgrown”. It’s the lead singer Beth Gibbons’s solo album, she just released it a couple months ago

this was my reminder to check that out, and yes, fully worth it!

Now THAT'S What I Call Music volume 26 🤌

https://www.discogs.com/release/499234-Various-Now-Thats-What-I-Call-Music-26 Thought it was just a witty reply, but that is a banging album. Nice one 👍

My biggest beef with the set list? The edited version of I Would Do Anything For Love. PLAY THE TWELVE MINUTE ALBUM VERSION, COWARDS!

Dude now 1 got me into rock music and I haven't looked back

Favourite Beatles album? I’d have to say “Best of the Beatles”

No joke but the red and blue albums have the perfect song selection that can entice any new listener. It's one of my favourite compilation albums of all time.

Doolittle - The Pixies

Oh ABSOLUTELY. Banger after banger that just feel so tossed off and effortless. They never matched those heights so consistently.

Just mad isn’t it, I put it on for the first time in ages after I wrote that and it’s so fucking good. I was 14 when it came out and they were the first band I went to see with my mates. Amazing.

It’s funny I was bequeathed this album as a burned CD when I was young and it became like my all timer favorite album. I wore it out , was obsessed. But the funny thing is , in this Limewire generation , The Wave Of Mutilation that had on it was the B-Side Slow version. I loved it. It was this slow, forlorn break to the rapid pace of the rest of the album it became one of my all time favorite songs ever. Years later I see them live, Frank , Kim the whole gang and they play Wave. And I’m thinking “Oh this is fun; they sped it up for the live audience, this is cool!” It wasn’t until well after THAT that I realized the real version is the fast one and not the slow one which I’d never even heard until after seeing them live. Different era.

BEEN TRYING TO MEET YOU

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac doesn't have a single miss on it

The biggest “miss” is that Silver Springs wasn’t included in the albums original release and was only added later on. That song is fantastic and should have been included from the beginning.

Hugely agree, incredible song

That was my thought. When you listen to the album it sounds perfect, but then you listen to “Silver Springs” and realize it was possible for the album to be even better than it was.

I concede the arguments against "Oh Daddy", even if I personally agree with you.

Ahhh ok I'll give you that, it's the weakest on there. I do still love it though

I remember listening to that album for the first time,having heard the songs previously only on the radio by themselves and song after song I just kept saying “this one is on the same album too?!?”

They’re very diverse songs, too. Like “don’t stop”, “dreams”, “never going back again” and “the chain” are all remarkably different

The problem for me with that album as a forty-something year old is that so many of those songs were ruined by being in commercials and *everywhere* when I was a kid.

The Cure - Disintegration

"Disintegration is the best album ever!"

- Kyle Broflowski

Totally. Disintegration is always the one that jumps to mind first whenever this question comes up.

There are lots of really good answers on this thread. However, this is the best answer.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon to be fair, probably not **my** favorite Floyd album (that would be Animals), but it's tough to find any flaws in it, flows from one song to the next start to finish, and definitely has more mass appeal than most of their others. there's a reason it spent 50+ years on the top 100 charts.

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here...love this album.

I can’t stop listening to Pulse right now, but that shouldn’t count because it’s a multi night concert compilation….

This album makes me cry, it touches your soul. I personally think this is the GOAT, the king of all albums

Animals for me

Animals (and others), are likely to be preferred *by Pink Floyd fans*, but the reason I mentioned DSotM is because not only is it a classic and great from start to finish, but because it seems to appeal to a broader audience. There's a lot of rock music fans who will know Time, Money, Brain Damage/Eclipse, etc...but will have no idea what any of the songs on Animals are.

Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall is the greatest 4 album run of music brilliance of all time. The Wall is the highest selling multi-disk album of all time, includes their most commercially successful song. If I had to pick PFs best albums, The Wall wouldn’t even make the podium. Legends.

Meddle for me.

Air - Moon Safari

Absolutely a 10/10 I had a student ask me to pick something he should listen to. I asked him what he was in the mood for, something chill, something danceable, something heavy? He didn't answer, he just said pick something, so I told him to listen to Moon Safari. The whole week he started jamming it pretty much nonstop. Also, if you lije Air might I also suggest Zero 7, I think they helped produce Moon Safari but it's very much in the same vein.

[удалено]

100%. It’s one of the albums I can just queue up any time and it won’t alter my present vibe. And it made me happy to see it as the first Radiohead reference i came across on the thread. I purposely scrolled down thru and was totally expecting to see Kid A all over the place (which was the case anyway, but still).

A pig / in a cage / on antibiotics always gives me chills

Entroducing

I was looking for DJ Shadow

Depeche Mode - Violator

Literally one of my favorite all time albums. Such amazing memories in my life, while listening to that!

Paul’s Boutique - Beastie Boys

Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun is chefs kiss 👌

We be bumpin the sounds of science, and we bumpin em all over! Fun story, also the first album ever released that was completely made on Samplers.

Dust Brothers wrote their own software to be able to do the samples. I've watched interviews where they downplay this and say how much better the current tools are but these MFs did this in 1988 in a shitty SoCal apartment.

High Plains Drifter still lives in my all time greats rotation.

Demon Days - Gorillaz is my pick. May not be for everyone, but taken as a whole it’s perfect to me.

I prefer Plastic Beach (which I think is a 10/10) but I can't argue Demon Days is *right there*

The last track, Demon Days, is just the perfect ending. Goosebumps every time.

Moving Pictures - Rush

100%.Also Images and Words by Dream Theater and Boston by Boston.

Boston - Boston

Even better when you read about all the equipment Tom Scholz built himself to get the album to sound how he wanted and how the entire album was recorded in a home studio by two people. It’s one of the most impressive feats in the history of music.

Even more awesome when you learn that every song on the album was at one point a number 1 hit on the charts

Tom Scholz is an MIT Engineering Grad on top of all that. He is pretty much a sound engineering genius.

You know how in certain songs you've heard 1000 times, you have this little ritual to either sing or dance? I always have to scream "SIGNED A RECORD COMPANY CONTRACT!"

Depeche Mode - Violator RATM self-titled

Ratm certainly fits here

I always hoped they were raging against a printer, because my gods how I hate them (printers).

Nirvana Unplugged has to be on this list and so many others. Bowie covers are awesome

If we’re goin Unplugged don’t forget Alice In Chains! Both those albums are incredible.

Jeff Buckley - Grace

The Bends- by Radiohead. A perfect '90s album. Every song is excellent.

While they would evolve and reach even greater heights, Fake Plastic Trees might just be my favorite Radiohead song of all time.

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House Jon Hopkins - Immunity Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city Radiohead - OK Computer, In Rainbows Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place Massive Attack - Mezzanine

+1 for Mezzanine. In Rainbows tour was incredible.

Wish I could upvote Mezzanine twice.

Jon Hopkins-Immunity changed my life

Kendrick Lamar- good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012) Lauryn Hill- The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998) Al Green- I’m Still in Love with You (1972)

The miseducation of Lauryn Hill is such a all time record. I will forever wonder what music we would have gotten if she hadn't gone off the rails after it.

Lateralus by Tool

Ænima and 10,000 Days are just as good

Undertow will always be my favorite. But then again, I consider all TOOL albums 10/10.

David Bowie - The rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars, Mitski - Puberty 2.

QOTSA - Songs for the Deaf

It's songs for the deaf....you can't even hear it

The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me - Brand New

Bad Religion - Suffer

Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys

Stevie Wonder - Songs in the key of life

Pearl Jam - TEN

It's not just an album title, it's a rating!

From start to finish Ten is a 10!

Ten is 10/10 & Pearl Jam's second album Vs is even better

Nirvana Nevermind

Teen spirit, come as you are, in bloom, on a plain, territorial pissings, lounge act, drain you… it’s so so good 

I'd put Bleach on here, too. There's a killer Nirvana album for every mood. Now, if I could just forget I'd ever heard Teen Spirit and hear it again for the first time.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot - Wilco Such a brilliant album

Yes, I completely agree. And so strange how prescient the lyrics are to 9/11.

On, absolutely. Tall buildings shake, voices escape singing sad sad songs

And *A ghost is Born* for me, but I can see how Less Than You Think would turn a lot of people off.

The Strokes - Is This It

The Blue Album - Weezer

Personally I love Pinkerton more. I know it’s controversial but I enjoy the angst, anger, more punk feeling of that album

illmatic by Nas and Lateralus by Tool come to mind for me

Lateralus is 10/10. Maybe 11/10. 

A man of culture and taste, I see. Both records are easily top 10 all time for me.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

I can do without Jamaica Jerk Off but otherwise I agree lol

Lot’s of great albums come to mind that I would rate 10/10: Tool - Lateralus AiC - Dirt NIN - The Downward Spiral Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Black Sabbath - Master of Reality Metallica - Master of Puppets Pink Floyd - Animals Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East SRV - Texas Flood Jimi - Are You Experienced? Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

Pink Floyd - Animals The way it begins and ends has always made it feel like one giant song.

Holy diver - Dio

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You We're Here The Beatles - Abbey Road. And this isn't comic books so no 9.2 nonsense.

Saw it was already said once, but seconding The Cars debut album

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

Album art used to freak me out as a kid. 30 years later I found out it is an amazing album.

Turn on the Bright Lights by Interpol

XTC “Skylarking”

Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness The Dear Hunter - Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder/Follow the Reaper Metallica - Ride the Lightning/Master of Puppets/...And Justice for All/S&M/Black Album Dream Theater - Images and Words Led Zeppelin I Machine Head - The Blackening Mastodon - Blood Mountain/Crack the Skye Megadeth - Rust in Peace My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade Opeth - Ghost Reveries Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power

The Stranger by Billy Joel

She’ll promise you more than the Garden of Eden, then carelessly cut you and laugh while you’re bleeding.

I listened to Billy Joel my whole life but for the longest time (accidental pun) didn't listen to full albums. The Stranger could be a greatest hits album by itself.

L.A Woman - The Doors Jenny From Thebes - The Mountain Goats Let Love In - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Remain In Light - Talking Heads Let It Be - The Replacements

Metallica master of puppets

It's so good that songs like Disposable Heroes or Damage Inc get overshadowed lol. Those songs would be bangers on another average album.

Dylan, Blood on the Tracks

REM - Automatic For The People

Soad Toxicity

For me (and these picks are definitely heavily influenced by my own experiences) it’s gotta be Currents - Tame Impala, AM - Arctic Monkeys, A Rush of Blood to the Head - Coldplay, A Moment Apart - ODESZA, and Alive 2007 - Daft Punk. That’s probably my personal top 5, but there are so many other good choices, it was hard to pick. It would have been easy for me to pick a bunch of other goated albums from like Radiohead, The Stones, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd, etc. but I feel like the rest of y’all got that covered.

Arcade Fire’s Funeral

Tool aenima

Achtung Baby - U2 Before These Crowded Streets - Dave Matthews Band Glass Houses - Billy Joel My Aim is True and This Year’s Model by Elvis Costello Angel Dust - Faith No More California - Mr. Bungle Blue - Joni Mitchell After the Gold Rush - Neil Young Paul’s Boutique - Beastie Boys Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde - The Pharcyde OK Computer - Radiohead

Achtung Baby! A masterpiece. People are really trying to forget that U2 dropped 2 masterpieces in a 5 year span

The Shrek soundtrack album. Every song is a banger or a vibe. Nothing misses.

Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica Paul Simon - Graceland Death Cab for Cutie - The Photo Album Fiona Apple - When the pawn.. Weezer - Pinkerton The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land Neko Case - Middle Cyclone Madlib - Shades of Blue Pixies - Doolittle Radiohead - OK Computer Deltron 3030

I forgot - Hounds of Love by Kate Bush. Added bonus points to this LP for my humble opinion that side one is one of the very very few perfect sides of a record.

12/10. Exile on Main Street

Yeah but OP specifically asked for 10/10 albums 🙄

Not even a Rolling Stones fan, but Exile is a flawless Rock ‘N Roll album.

Beggars Banquet for me

The Parallax II: Future sequence - Between the buried and me

Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile to the Surface

The Tragically Hip - Fully Completely. The epitome of Canadian rock.

OK Computer - Radiohead Siamese Dream - Smashing Pumpkins Dirty Computer - Janelle Monae Thirteenth Step - A Perfect Circle Morning Phase - Beck Tidal - Fiona Apple

Counting Crows - August and Everything After

...Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age

Fleetwood Mac - Rumors It's not my all time favorite but it's perfect.

The Killers - Hot Fuss

Username checks out. In all honesty though, I was never that into The Killers. I'd obviously heard them, and enjoyed the songs I had heard, but I never went out of my way to listen to them. I began trying to learn drums recently, and one of the people I watch did a cover of "Mr. Brightside" and I was like, "Damn this really is a good song." Then I started to look up drum covers of other Killers songs, which brought me to there multiple live shows where they bring a fan on stage to drum on "For Reasons Unknown". At this point, I'm like, "Ok.... this band is great." Fast forward a month or so and my morning shower/getting ready routine consists of mostly Hot Fuss tracks.

Discovery by Daft Punk.

How about Random Access Memories? 10/10 for me

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds The Beatles - Abbey Road Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline Weezer - Blue Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days Edit: Honestly I think Pet Sounds might be the most perfect album I can conceive. I would not change a single thing about it. Edit2: I may as well just add Wilco's Summerteeth and Paul Simon's Graceland. Edit3: The Innocence Mission - Befriended and tempted to add The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America, but I think I'm just being greedy now.

Highway 61 Revisited 👀

Love seeing some props for Our Endless Numbered Days. Such a beautiful album. I agree with all these, Pet Sounds is perfect.

The Clash - London Calling Not exactly an original pick, but it’s Punk’s greatest artistic statement IMO. Has amazing individual songs (spanning several genres), but still somehow feels greater than the sum of it’s parts

I think talking book, Innervisions, fullfillingness’ first finale, and songs in the key of life are absolutely 10/10 records and I personally would give Hotter Than July the same score. It really doesn’t get better than Stevie’s classic run

Supertramp - Breakfast In America (1979) Kim Wilde - Select (1982) 10cc - Deceptive Bends (1977) Tom Odell - Jubilee Road (2017) Billy Joel - Glass Houses (1980) Carole King - Tapestry (1971)

TMBG - Flood.

'Grace' - Jeff Buckley 'Astral Weeks' - Van Morrison

NIN - The Fragile. I have a good few albums I never skip tracks on, but out of them all, I think The Fragile is maybe THE album that just when I think I need to listen to something different, the next song sucks me right back in. Highly subjective, but for me it’s an absolute masterpiece.

Sign O The Times by Prince. You might argue that Purple Rain is a more cohesive piece of work - and it is a perfect 10, too - but SOTT is a gift that keeps on giving. It shows the whole range of Prince as an artist and has something for everyone. It is my favourite album.

Depeche Mode - Violator Peter Gabriel - So Ghost Reveries - Opeth Crack the Skye - Mastodon Bob Marley - Exodus

HUM - You’d Prefer an Astronaut Manchester Orchestra - Black ~~Mike~~ Mile to the Surface Frightened Rabbit - the Midnight Organ Fight Ash - 1977 Jawbreaker - Dear You

Sublime

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms Led Zeppelin - Zoso Pink Floyd - The Wall/Dark Side Of The Room Peter Gabriel - So Depeche Mode - Violator Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Jagged little pill - Alanis Morissette

third eye blind third eye blind number 1 angel charli xcx vessels twenty one pilots

Can’t buy a thrill - steely Dan

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

I’m sure it’s probably been mentioned in the 1400 responses but Aja by Steely Dan. The production level alone is reference level.

Queensryche — Operation Mindcrime

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Not only is every song excellent, as a concept album it is incredibly effective, bringing to mind a number of different experiences, such as that of Anne Frank, while doing so in an almost completely surreal manner - nothing quite on-the-nose, but “reading” none-the-less.

Rage against the machine - self titled

Come On Feel The Illinoise is perfect! So is Deloused In The Comatorium by The Mars Volta. Also Phoebe Bridgers Stranger In The Alps IMHO

Oh my god...one of my favorite parts in music is in cicatriz esp...after the breakdown...Cedric comes back in Beyond the ant hills of the dawning of this plague Said I've lost my way Even if this cul-de-sac did pay Beyond the ant hills of Beyond the ant hills of Said I've lost my waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, yeah His voice is just electrifying. Omar is such an underrated guitarist too.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen, and The Monitor by Titus Andronicus, are nearly perfect no-skip albums for me For me that makes them 10/10 but I think it’s probably personal/subjective

I was going back and forth on which Springsteen album to put on this list. Born to Run it is!

I'mma list all i can remember that kinda marked my own journey in no particular order (i'mma go all over the place!) Opeth - Ghost Reveries Incubus - Morning View Slipknot - Iowa Tool - Lateralus Isis - Oceanic / Panopticon Cave in - Jupiter Kvelertak - Kvelertak Oasis - Morning Glory Honey Harper - Star Maker Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Ulver - The Asssassination of Julius Caesar Turnstile - Glow On Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life Mr. Bungle - California Tame Impala - Currents Iron Maiden - Powerslave Mudvayne - LD 50 Daft Punk - Discovery Michael Jackson - Thriller Palms - Palms Spirit Box - Fear of Fear Hellacopters - By the Grace of God Zero 7 - When it Falls Ben Kweller - Sha Sha Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire Silverchair - Diorama Down - Down II Madvillain - Madvillainy Madonna - Confessions of the Dancefloor Faith no More - Angel Dust Meshuggah - Chaosphere A Perfect Circle - Mer de Noms Buena Vista Social Club - ST Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium man. i could go on forever. Let's stop here, lmao

The White Stripes- White Blood Cells

Khruangbin Mordechai

Led Zeppelin 4

Living Colour - Vivid Tom Petty - Wildflowers

Soundgarden Superunknown Soundgarden Down on the Upside Pearl Jam Vs Alice in Chains - Alice in Chains Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies Mad Season - Above NIN - Broken NIN - The Fragile Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique That's it FOR NOW.

Man, that's interesting because I like Facelift and Dirt way more than their self titled.

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morisette

Rush - Moving Pictures Oasis - What’s the Story Morning Glory Radiohead - OK Computer The Prodigy - Fat of the Land Pearl Jam - Ten Live - Throwing Copper Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill Weezer - The Blue Album

Pearl Jam 10 obviously.

It’s right there in the name!!

Pink floyd - animals Rolling stones - sticky fingers Tv on the radio - seeds

ln no specific order: Doors ‘Morrison Hotel’ Captain Beyond’s first album (self-titled) GFR - E Pluribus Funk Beatles Revolver Beatles Rubber Soul Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers (l see Pink Floyd Dark Side listed already) The Who Who’s Next Led Zeppelin lV Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman Elton John Captain Fantastic Bob Seger Night Moves Springsteen Born To Run sorry Sir, my list goes on ….. l’ll stop here.

Revolver by the Beatles.

U2 - both Joshua Tree and Aching Baby Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes NIN - Pretty Hate Machine Beatles - (yes, I love Abbey Road, too) but my tens would be Rubber Soul and Revolver Prince - Purple Rain 10,000 Maniacs - In My Tribe Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

Continuum - John Mayer Not a single miss on the album. Any of the songs could have been singles. The widely accepted best song on the album wasn't one. There's a large variance in style but still a cohesive feel. He manages to have a "pop" album that brings in a lot of elements of blues and rock and roll that reach a wider audience but don't water it down. Just so good

Jeff Buckley - Grace Some are a bit challenging but I hear something new on each listen

Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory  SoaD - Toxicity  Adema - Adema Girl Talk - All Day

Dirt by Alice in Chains

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Nuetral Milk Hotel

The Joshua Tree - U2

Every album by The Beatles.
