So, I looked up the Rolling Stone 500 greatest albums of all time, and I deserve a band at 8th place that I didn´t knew, it´s name was The Clash, they entered with an album named London Calling, so, after Beatles and Presley and Dylan, this group appears like nothing, it takes my attention and I download it. Today, I still glad for the user where I download this album, it just changed my life, my punk bands where Blink–182 and Green Day, but I deserve something beautiful, incredible, the most powerful way to say the to Rock and Punk ¨I LOVE YOU¨, London Calling is an Anti–War, Happiness, Rebel, Lier, Reality album, is just everything and more, every track is from another world, every world is taken from the best writings ever, every sound is complete. I know that the perfect album doesn´t exist, but I think London Calling is the nearest to be, in some ways, the nearly perfect album of history.

The story of the space is written by too much scientists, but the story of The Dark Side of the Moon, was written by Pink Floyd, and not only that, Pink Floyd, for telling the story, write songs, not every song you can hear in the street, these are THE SONGS, from the start to the end, you will be teleported to another world, you will hear your Breathe like you have never did, you will see you Money flying and you will feel the Time running, and when you´re at the end, you will have a beautiful Brain Damage. that will makes feel an Eclipse inside of you, I think I have say to much, let Waters tell you the story, you´re not going to be dissapointed

Best song: Hard to choose, but Brain Damage/Eclipse (together) are in every way the best
Worst song: I´d choose On the Run, not just to be a super long hidden Track (or instrumental), it´s just that every song has it´s story, On the Run has, sadly, the wickest [First added to this chart: 06/24/2014]

The living thing in this world that can´t appreciate this album should be taken out from the world, this guy invented something that was never in the mind of another person, just in his. Transformer has influenced the half of the albums that are known as GREATEST EVER, obviously, counting it´s self. What kind of music does this album created? Experimental, you´re making the idea of the masterpiece that I just heard to, no? If you can´t make ideas by yourself, listen to it, you mind is going to blow away.

Best song: Perfect Day (I think I´m sure of that)
Worst song: Wagon Wheel (Maybe, just maybe) [First added to this chart: 06/24/2014]

How many songs does the album with minus songs you have listened? I don´t think one shorter than 5 songs, how does they lenght? I´d say that more than 5 minutes (at least) now, that songs were incredible? were touching the perfection?, there is hard to say that this album can´t be one of the bests of all time, each 5 songs are full of incredible lyrics, I have to confess, Shine on You Crazy Diamond is easily one of the bests songs ever recorded, I´m not over the line if I say ¨AWESOME¨

Best song: Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Worst song: Anyone [First added to this chart: 06/24/2014]

Do you like stories? Well, everybody like, at least one per day, the stories that I read, I don´t have to read it, every story comes from the beautiful magic of music, and the stories come more interesting everyday, but this album, is REALLY BUT REALLY REALLY A STORY, it also has a movie, and an INCREDIBLE BIG LEGACY, you don´t like school? listen to it, you love your mother? listen to it, you lost your father? listen to it, you want to be a rebel rockstar? listen to it, you want to keep glad for the rest of your life?, so, just listen to it, every song is another part from the history of ¨The Wall¨

Best song: Comfortably Numb (I´m sure you´re not surprised)
Worst song: There´s no bad songs, every part is another piece from the history [First added to this chart: 06/24/2014]

Somebody: John Lennon
Somebody N2: Where?
Somebody: Even do you know him?
Somebody N2: He´s not the man that played Imagine?
Imagine everywhere, just Imagine, it´s a very good song, but it´s not the unique one in the world, his first album (without Imagine) is too much better than the second (Imagine) and, in my far opinion, his best song is Working Class Hero, John was a genius, is in the mind of the people that knows about music, he´s on the mind of the person that stills in real music

Best song: Working Class Hero
Worst song: Remember, I think so [First added to this chart: 06/24/2014]

¨There's a starman waiting in the sky, He´d like to come and meet us, But he thinks he'd blow our minds¨
The first album I listened of David Bowie was this one, and still incredible everytime I listen to anyone of this songs, are full of surprises, powerful riffs, incredible lyrics, he really know how to write songs, he´s was one of the 3 rebel genius, with Reed and Iggy Pop, his name should be remembered like Lennon, in a big variety of ways

Stairway to Heaven is not the only song by led Zeppelin, but, it still being important, in this album, Led Zeppelin declared what they were able to do, their masterpiece was Led Zeppelin II, but this one is the big follower, it has an incredible start, and one of the bests ends, Led Zeppelin is recognized for one thing, be incredible, so, this album explains most of that motto, is really incredible, from the top to the end

¨I don´t need to fight, to prove I´m right¨
Beautiful motto, The Who created a masterpiece that changed their life, the critics up at an incredible cantity, they were clapped, the other bands were scared of what The Who could do, they were full of imagination and creativity.
I listened to this album because I love the front cover, so, I download it, the first impression is just the best, the second one was strange, soft start and then PUM PUM in Bargain, when I listened, I notice why it was their best album

Best song: Baba O´Riley
