Top 10 Albums

[Fastbreak 4045]

Inspired by Rick Beato’s list. These are front to back albums that you can put on a playlist and zone out for 30-40 mins.

 

This is my list. Your list will be different. Not in any order.

 

Pearl Jam - Ten

Front to back this album is masterful. Every second brings something. 30 fucking years old now. Would be considered for album of the year in any year.

 

Depeche Mode - Black Celebration

Changed electronic music. The band found their voice and produced dark classic.

 

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

When Morrissey and Marr where at peak 3rd great album in 2.5 years. But best of the 3. Great lyrics and production.

 

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon

You can listen to this on repeat on a 10 hour flight.

 

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

I still can’t figure out how they made this album technically in 1970.

 

Micheal Jackson - Thriller

Greatest pop album ever made.

 

Prince - 1999

Prince matured into a hit machine. You could buy me a beer and I would change to Purple Rain.

 

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

The band at its peak before so many drugs and crazy sex broke them (not judging).

 

Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction

The best debut rock album of all time.

 

Beatles - Red Album

Cheat. It’s a compilation album. Don’t fucking care. 20 songs, all perfect. And it was first album I ever owned.

King's X - Faith, Hope, Love (Could also say several other albums, but gonna stick to one album per band)

Trapeze - You Are The Music...We're Just The Band

Cry Of Love - Brother

Arc Angels - S/T

Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies - S/T

Dream Theater - Images And Words

Jellyfish - Spilt Milk

Deep Purple - Machine Head

Sugarbomb - Bully

American Bang - S/T

Shit, any Beatles album, so I won't even go there.

I made a point to listen to Rolling Stones Top 20 albums from their top 500 list.  I really don't know the criteria they used. I know they got input/list from a ton of people.  Man are there some stinkers (for my taste) in the top 20.  First one that unlistenable to me was #3 Joni Mitchell-Blue.  It may be heart wrenching and soul touching but her voice is like fingers on chalk board to me.
