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.
Favorite Track: Dogs

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
