Pink Floyd is without a doubt my favorite band, and if I had to pick one album that stood out as a masterpiece to me, it'd be Animals. Five songs, 41 minutes, and every bit of it is perfection. No doubt their darkest release, Animals puts you into the cutthroat environment of the real world, adding in the infamous allegory to the animal kingdom.

What an honest to God masterpiece. 43 minutes and there's not a single moment that doesn't captivate me--and yes, that is INCLUDING all of "Moonchild"! When I first heard this album, it was one of the most intense musical experiences I've ever had, with every track either entrancing or enthralling me. To make a sound this heavy in a year like 1969 is something that is utterly groundbreaking.

David Bowie is no doubt one of the most influential artists to ever exist; his vibrant personality, his irrefutable talent, and his diverse taste in music... I believe it all comes together with this record. This was recorded during one of Bowie's 'lowest' points in his life, an era where he progressively struggled to try and overcome his addiction. He expresses his mindset and feelings in such a bizarre and artistic way here. The first half is this sorta strange and whimsically depressive lyrical state of mind, having an upbeat segmentation fueled by over the top guitar and synthesizer riffs. "Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car..." The second half is one of the most beautiful musical suites that has possibly ever been created, with the spacious and ambient sounds, the atmospheric vocalization... Truly a fine work of art.
"The first album in David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy sees Bowie as a tragic figure. The album's first side is a beautiful futurist ruin, littered with holes left purposefully unfixed, while the blank, instrumental second side feels like a calculated attempt to kill the author." ~Laura Spades from Rolling Stone
Favorite Tracks: Always Crashing In The Same Car / Subterraneans [First added to this chart: 11/22/2019]

The Beatles; the most famous rock group of all time. In 1968 near the end of the year, they released 93 minutes of questionable, satirical, and political music amongst a whole lot of personal drama that began ensuing with the band. To me, this album embodies the group at their most vulnerable, where they still manage to come up with a series of hit songs despite their issues at the time. Even the most ridiculous tracks on here, such as "Revolution 9" or "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" manage to hit that mark they were so desperate to obtain, making the record very ahead of its time.
