A perfect Hip Hop album with blends of Electro and Jazz. The lyricism and Kendrick's flows are just perfect. Definitely an album to listen to front to back. 10/10

A beautiful album full of nostalgic rhythms and beautiful lyricism of childhood. Some songs sound cheerfully calming and its just a very beautiful debut. This album can literally only described in one word. Beautiful. 10/10

Waves of beautiful guitars and blissful vocals. This album took Kevin Shields a couple of years to produce and you can tell it was definitely worth it. This is an insanely unique and original album and its Kevin Shields masterpiece. It makes sense why he didnt make another album for 22 years because its hard to top perfection. 10/10

This is the Beatles best album. It's a perfect presentation of each Beatles unique styles. The amount of different genres on this album is insane going from calming "Julia" a sad song about John's mother who died when he was young to the loud "Helter Skelter" What many to believe is the very first heavy metal song. Its just a perfect album, although people criticise it for being weird with songs such as "Revolution 9" which I actually enjoy and think it could lead to the inspiration of bands like "Godspeed you! Black Emperor" I just think all the songs are insanely unique to each band member and showed all of their full potentials. 10/10

I cannot Explain how fucking amazing the rolling stones discography was from Beggars Banquet to Exile. It started with Beggars Banquet where it was like wow this album is great and unique to everything the stones have done so far. Then they released Let it Bleed which was like Holy shit they're getting even more lyrically and musically better this is so weird but amazing then they released Sticky Fingers and that was like Wow alright they've reached their peak this album is amazing and they cannot possibly release anything better than this it is literally impossible. Then they released Exile. This album is too perfect. It feels like it shouldn't exist. Its just such a perfect blend of blues, rock, and jazz instrumentation. Every lyric is beautiful. Just listen to this. From start to finish it's beautiful. I love this. I need to shut up just listen to it it's perfection. 10/10

This album is most likely my favourite theme for any album. It goes over what i think is every aspect of life with every song. "Mother" a song about having a mother but losing her which is what most people go through. "Isolation" a song about how every human can't be by themselves for some reason they always need someone. "Working Class Hero" which is pretty self explanatory. Just this feels like the most honest and closest to heart album I've ever heard I can relate to all of the songs. 10/10

The Wall is what I think to be the best Pink Floyd album. When I first heard it I thought it was about a society stuck in walls not being able to escape like the novel 1984. But then I watched the Wall movie (Which I highly recommend watching if you enjoy the album) and I realised the true meaning of the albums lyrics. This is an album about being depressed and trapped and I feel it's such a great expression of it. This album doesn't end happily which I love it's so abstract and beautiful it's too hard to explain in words just listen to it and figure how you feel about it but for me this albums perfection. 10/10

This might seem like an unusual choice but I really enjoy this album from start to finish. Its similar to the white album where its a lot of songs going over different emotions and topics and each song is catchy and lyrical and its Stevie Wonders masterpiece and it deserves all the praise to get. It takes a couple of listens to enjoy because of the length but trust me once you've listened to it a couple of times its the best thing ever. 10/10

This was a fight between this and Blood on the Tracks but I just had to go with this one. At this point in Bob's life he was at his lyrically and musically best time in the 60s. He'd fully reverted to rock and roll and he stopped protest songs for more fantasy driven stories he told that are hard to decipher and you can take the meaning of his lyrics anyway you'd like. That's what i love about Dylan. His abstract lyrics are his perfection and this is Bob's masterpiece. Blood on the Tracks is a close second but some of the songs on that album don't give me the same feeling as the songs from Blonde on Blonde 10/10

This album is Indie Rock perfection. The impact this album had on genrations of rock to come is insane. It's the equivalent of the modern sgt peppers or modern nevermind. The lyrics of being young and ruthless come across amazing with Julians muffled voice and the quick instrumentation. The line from the song Hard to Explain "I say the right thing, but act the wrong way. I like it right here, but I cannot stay. I watch the TV, forget what I'm told. Well, I am too young, and they are too old" is just perfection I fucking love it so much. This album is just insanely catchy and lyrical and listen to it. 10/10
