15 big ones by The Beach Boys... well, almost! Opener "Rock and Roll Music" wasn't the most successful choice of song to cover, but otherwise nothing but an adorable album that contains a few great original compositions besides the majority of charming cover versions of oldies. A guilty pleasure, but essential if you're a fan of nostalgia!
Favourite tracks: "It's O.K.", "Talk to Me" & "Palisades Park" [First added to this chart: 11/03/2013]

Desire for more Bob Dylan? You've come to the right place, my friend! This is another great 70s Dylan album which has that extra magical something just like "Blood on the Tracks" had, but with more exotic instrumentation such as violin soloing, accordions, mandolins, loads of female background vocals and so on. Should satisfy any Bob Dylan fan, but might also be able to convince non-Dylan fans who weren't sold on his stuff from his classic "ground-breaking" 60s era as it's sonically a completely different deal.
Favourite tracks: "Hurricane" & "Joey" [First added to this chart: 09/28/2014]

Songs in the key of Stevie Wonder. Lots of them! A gorgeous, ambitious journey of quality funk/soul.

More than a feeling is what this album generates for the one listening to it. One of the most euphoric, beautiful rock songs of all time is what this album opens with for starters!

Let the melodies of this excellent pop/prog rock album just drift your cares away. It truly mesmerizes you in its own way! A glorious, epic hard rocker.

Welcome to Hotel California. Such a lovely album to listen to, nice and very pleasant classic rock. Features one of the most overplayed, somehow still one of the greatest songs of all time with the title track. That guitar solo!

Hey! Ho! Let's Go! The almighty unforgettable sound of Ramones storming into the music scene with their signature snotty vocals, chain sawing guitars and silly pop appeal. Very primitive and dumb, there's just something delightfully humourous and charmful about Ramones!
Favourite tracks: "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" & "I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You" [First added to this chart: 12/09/2013]

One might've expected a romantic-sounding record with the artist/album name and album cover, but the truth reveals that it sounds a lot like The Velvet Underground. If you dig that band, you'd definitely like this one too. It's a real rock 'n' roll-spirited rock with a rolling groove and a lead singer that mumbles through the whole thing!
