Undisputed GOAT rap concept album in my opinion. Just absurdly good.

This is considered Kanye's greatest achievement, and for good reason. The greatest song of all time is on this album (Devil in a New Dress), along with the greatest guest verse (Rick Ross on the same track).
Recommended Tracks: Devil in a New Dress, Runaway, POWER [First added to this chart: 05/27/2016]

Fight me to the death if you must, but Contra is VW's best album. So beautifully poetic, and the whole aura it creates is amazing.

The best grunge album ever, hands down. So many amazing tracks; for me, only Quiet gets a skip, but lots of people even love that song.
Recommended Tracks: Cherub Rock, Today, Disarm, Luna [First added to this chart: 05/27/2016]

Criminally underrated album. So many people sleep on this album, but honestly, it is just so good and so influential on popular modern R&B/pop in my opinion.
Recommended Tracks: Robocop, Streetlights, Coldest Winter [First added to this chart: 08/14/2016]

So I know this album has been universally panned by critics and Pumpkins fans alike, but it is just so good. It has some beautiful tracks. If you can only listen to one, listen to Lyric, but if you love long songs, Jesus I is 13 minutes of amazing music.
Recommended tracks: Lyric, Jesus I, Come With Me [First added to this chart: 08/14/2016]

The Pet Sounds of the 90s. Every song could have been a hit single besides Only in Dreams, which is still an incredible track, just too long to be a single.

No one knows this anymore, but it was a rock opera from the mid-2000s from a rock band that was popular in the Midwest, with one nationally known single (Love Me Dead). However, this album is absolutely amazing.
Recommended Track: Save Our City (the only one not part of the main storyline) [First added to this chart: 05/27/2016]

I love this album. So many beautiful parts of it, and probably my favorite double album ever. However, some of the weird super spastic stuff knocks down my rating (especially Love, Tales of a Scorched Earth, and X.Y.U)
Recommended tracks: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, Tonight Tonight, 1979, Through the Eyes of Ruby, Fuck You (An Ode to No One)[ONLY LISTEN IF YOU LIKE HARD STUFF], By Starlight [Underrated but amazing track by them].
