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 album is probably the greatest album about depression and I feel owning the vinyl of this album reveals more of what it's trying to express. Basically side one is called "the outside" and side two is called "the inside" and all the songs on side one are a lot less sad and dark than the songs on side two. I believe that this is meant to show how different people are from the inside and outside. The songs sound magically ahead of their time and Ian Curtis' vocals are so unique and if you get the chance watch them play live on You tube Ian's dance moves are insanely beautiful. 10/10

I had to put a Led Zeppelin album somewhere on this list. They're just a great band. Every album they did up until this one are all amazing albums in my opinion but this one has a special place in my heart. For one its the longest album out of all of them being a double LP. It has a great variety of genres from the rocking Custard Pie to the Horn and Violin filled beauty Kashmir and the calming acoustic Bron-Yr-Aur. The cover of In My Time Of Dying on this album might be my favourite cover song of all time how much Led Zeppelin add to the song. Ten Years Gone and Down By The Sea Side give me chills hearing them. It's just an overall amazing album by an amazing band that I definitely recommend checking out. 10/10

I'm not entirely sure what I can say about this album that hasn't already been talked about with albums like exile on main st. It's just an artist at their fullest potential. There are all hits and 0 misses on this album. Although I will say that I feel like the lyrics on this album dont get talked about enough. It's just amazingly poetic. I'll give 3 examples.
"This year I've lost some friends. What friends? I dunno, I didn't even notice"
"The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls, Make me noises for company"
"Love and hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands, Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how"
Just pure poetry from a couple of british 20 year olds in the 70s. [First added to this chart: 09/07/2021]

This is all of Elvis' best work put onto one vinyl. This is the music Elvis first recorded when he first started as an artist. The way I see it is this is Elvis before he was set up to high expectations. It was simply him being himself and not trying to copy anyone else. The style he brought to songs like "That's Alright" was completely original and after he did it everyone in the world were trying to be just like him. Simply if you wanna hear and Elvis album of songs that sound well worked on almost like an early Beatles album listen to this.
