What to say about this album, the first time I heard it I was a teenager, digging for oldies music. Found a special sound in The Beach Boys, but did not made a full impression until I saw "Love & Mercy". When I saw this movie and understood all the implications behind this album, listened to it again, and understood what true music is about.

Always knew Pink Floyd was something epic, because of my dad maybe, knew a couple of songs and saw The Wall, I thought Pink Floyd was a great band, but when I discovered this album when listening to all the Pink Floyd albums, the guitar in this album truly amazed me, and fell in love with it with the first song. Many people think Dark Side Of The Moon as the best Pink Floyd album, but, I disagree, just my personal opinion, music in this album is awesome.
Highlights:
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts 1-5)

Always liked The Beatles, always will. White album represents a nice and general essence of The Beatles, and has a lot of nice songs. It's always difficult to select the best The Beatles album, but I think this album gets the deal.

Another conflict, many people will say Discovery is the best Daft Punk album, but for me, the way this was made and recorded, with a full orchestra, makes it one of my top albums. Funk and electronic music meet in a perfect album, the progression makes too much sense. Every time I hear this album, it gets better.
Highlights:
Contact (Best song of the album, epic drum kit) [First added to this chart: 04/21/2017]

The first Damon Albarn alternate project album. WOW, awesome what a rapper, a cartoonist, and a brit pop star can make. This album marked my childhood, I remember listening to it on my Diskman, and watching the Clint Eastwood video on MTV a lot.

Not so far from Wish You Were Here, a transcendental critique to capitalism, and modern thoughts. I like this album because of the story that's being told as you hear the songs.

Radiohead is a band that recently entered my life, of course, I've always "listened" to Radiohead, but never understood everything to know about Radiohead. Actually The Bends was my favorite album before, but this came top because of the meaning. Radiohead should be remembered as a legend.

I've always liked Bowie, I think he's a masterpiece of God. In the last years, my love for him has increased a bunch and every day I admire him even more. I think this album reflects what Bowie wanted to achieve in his career, and it's simply fantastic. Ziggy is my favorite Bowie song too. Love this album with all my heart.
