This album means so much to me. Kendrick created an immensely inspirational piece of art. I tear up every time I listen. It helps with my mental health so much, and it has a great message. The album is close to perfection. I'm glad to hear that David Bowie was inspired by it.

This is my favorite CD because the whole albums just rocks! I love putting it on in my car and just singing along. There's no other rock album that compares to London Calling.

Difficult to choose again... I was always playing "The Suburbs" in high school, but this album grew on me in my 20's. I love the energy and intensity of this record.,

Iron Maiden is probably my favorite band, so choosing a favorite album by them is difficult. "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is one of the best songs of all time, it is hard to pass that up. The whole album is just pure metal, and I love the production.

It is hard to choose between this album and "Images and Words," but this album has sentimental value. Yes, it is cheesy in some parts, but I just connect with this album so much. (Plus, my name is Nicholas, the main character portrayed in the album).

"Carrie & Lowell" is another masterpiece by Sufjan, but this album is incredible. It was hard to choose between "Carrie & Lowell" and this album. I think this album is unique among other indie artists, and the arrangement is awe-inspiring.

One of the greatest concept albums of all time. Very cathartic.
