The album that got me into Radiohead. It's an amazing album and it deserves it's place as number 1 in the overall chart. It being there is what made me trust this website as opposed to others. In Rainbows is a close second to my favorite all time album and Radiohead album, but only one album per band is allowed in the chart.

A Beatles album had to make it to the top 5. But which one? I think Revolver is the most consistent of the Beatles albums in terms of quality. Not a single song I would skip. Other albums may have songs I like better, like the White album or Rubber Soul; but this one is overall the best one in my opinion. A difficult choicr nevertheless.

Wish You Were Here. An amazing album to walk to, and the album that got me into Pink Floyd. Again, a difficult choice. Dark Side of the Moon and Animals are also two of my favorites, but songs like Shine On You Crazy Diamond or Have a Cigar make this one my favorite.

Such a great album. I could play it on repeat pretty much anywhere at any time. The album may not have manybstand alone songs, but as a whole is an impressive piece of genius.

Is This It. One of the first albums I heard and the first I owned. Definetly one of my favorite day view albums and easily my favorite from The Strokes. There is not a single bad song in this record and the songs on their own are good too.

The Queen is dead is a great album from start to finish. The songs all go well with each other and on their own. Easy to listen to, but not simple or bland by any means.

The first time I listened to this album, wow, it really was something else. Only 3 songs, but each is a 90+ Amazing album. It got me into progressive rock.

This album has lots of good songs. From the emotionally charged opener Five Years to the more rock tracks like Ziggy Stardust, this album only had great songs after great songs.

Is this album amazing? Definetly. Is it the best Oasis album? Maybe. Both this and What's The Story (Morning Glory) are great albums, but I personally prefer this one.

A criminally underrated album. It takes many listens to really understand the genius behind it. Great lyrics and all the songs are great. Really looking forward to Will Toledo's next project.
