I discovered Sufjan Stevens only about a year ago, but in that year, I have more or less only listened to Sufjan. A truly unique artist with melodies and arrangements that make your hairs rise. One of the greatest composers of the last 30 years, and this album is his greatest without a single bad track, which is a feat considering the album contains 22 tracks.

One of his longest albums, and (in my opinion) his very best. Bob Dylan spewed out great songs one after another in the middle of the 60s, and there is not one single "weak" track in this masterpiece of an album.

In my opinion, this is the most underrated album by Bob Dylan. Made not long after Blood On The Tracks, here we hear a more tender(?) set of songs. I can't help but smile whenever I listen to this record.

This is the album that got me into heavier music. Thirteen year old me was blown away when Little Black Submarines suddenly bursts midway.

Most people's favourite Bob Dylan album, and it is understandable. Perhaps the biggest lyrical genius in music wowed every listener with the "dirty" Like a Rolling Stone.

Nice chart! I don't know if you tried Gentle Giant, but based on your tastes, I think you might like it (Three Friends, Free Hand, Octopus, Gentle Giant). Also, have you heard "Time And A Word" from Yes? This album is crazy good!
