A record that ignites my soul and makes my heart feel a thousand miles wide just by seeing the cover. An effortless listen, a landmark in sound and structure, and each side is absolutely terrific. [First added to this chart: 04/22/2017]

As solid and enjoyable any just about any album you could find. This album is melodically baffling. Melody, melody, melody, melody, melody, and to your right, another melody. And just about every one is fucking fantastic. Hearing this in 1966 must have been nuts. [First added to this chart: 04/22/2017]

A listening experience like no other. Even if some of the tracks on here aren't absolute Beatle standouts, the flow and overall vibe of this record would be incomplete without just about any of them. It's a grand piece of art even if it suffers from the occasional hyperbole. [First added to this chart: 04/22/2017]

Full on prog's face-first birth. If you haven't listened, you're missing a massive piece to this existence's musical puzzle. [First added to this chart: 04/22/2017]

This album's auditory hue is as vibrant and mesmerizing as its cover. It was jarring how much I liked this on first listen. Genuinely one of the best albums of the era. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]

A mess, but one always worth sifting through. There are gems all over the place here. I have to feel the disjointedness is part of the charm. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]

This was one of the most important albums ever for me growing up and in my first few years of drumming, had I arranged this 60’s list in 2010 this album would probably be in the top 3. Zeppelin, and this their sophomore release, hasn't been present in my listening nearly as much in recent time, but man has it got some classic material. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]

The older I get the more I appreciate this album and the higher it climbs on charts like these. Seriously, listen to it again, most tracks are masterpieces, the rest still push the sonic boundaries of 1967. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]
