Many people would place Dark Side of the Moon higher than Wish You Were Here, but for me, Floyd really made a whole album with this, it feels more complete as a piece of work.

Albarn captured a real nice eerie real with this album, combined with the fact it's the first album I ever bought, it made it to number 2 on my list.

One thing I love is a concept album and for me, this has to be the ultimate concept album, combined with the live performances, the wall takes the prize from me as a complete idea.

Kendrick for me really captured a period of time in his life, showing us a capture of adolescence, for me, this album is more personal than To Pimp a Butterfly and that wins it a higher rating. I also like the 'cinematic' feel to this album, the skits in between tracks really adding a feel of flow through the album.

A chilling, awe inspiring and at times harsh, evaluation of the human condition, I don't think there is really much I can say which hasn't already been said about this album.

This album from C418, mostly instrumental, does a really good job of feeling complete, the similar riffs and melodic sections throughout the album makes it really flow.

Again, another well constructed concept album, the story works well and the music works perfectly for it.

Another great peace of work from Kendrick, for me, lacks the personal feel of Good Kid but an excellently constructed piece of work.
