Morissey's voice and the multiple guitars layered on every track create a godlike combination. With Morissey's ghost like voice and Johnny Marr's heavenly guitar riffs The Smiths have created an album like no other.
This is one of those albums that I could listen to this all day long and not get bored.
Key Tracks: I Know Its Over, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, Bigmouth Strikes Again, The Boy With The Thorn In His Side [First added to this chart: 05/31/2017]

King Crimson's last album with a more "progier" sound. After this album King Crimson broke up, until they reformed in 1981 as a New-Wave act.
Starless is maybe the best song ever.
Key Tracks: Starless, One More Red Nightmare [First added to this chart: 05/22/2017]

Eclectic chart, good to see a few notes. Must listen to Death Grips, I discovered Madvillainy on this site.
Good overall range.
Great number one, one of my favourites.
