Stellar record, mixing in reggae, ska, soul, and pop to the punk-rock sound to make the ultimate post-punk record. Plus, there's barely any filler, and the filler is better than most bands' regular songs.

Another amazing post-punk record. Adds dub to the avant-garde of First Issue, resulting in odd tones and atmospheres.

Basically a live album, and my god, they pulled it off well. Iggy Pop is a banshee compared to their first album, and the feedback and jazz elements just make this a wild ride.

Most of it is psychedelia-leaning epics, and a few regular songs that try something new. This produces some of their absolute best songs, like No Quarter, The Ocean, and Song Remains the Same.

This is where Rush peaked. It sounds amazing and I can't tell why at all. There's also two progressive epics, with Xanadu, a highlight, and Cygnus X-1 Book 1, which is the best Rush song and one of the best songs ever made.

Pink Floyd's most sonically interesting record. One of These Days is a piledriver instrumental, songs like Fearless are drifting psychedelic songs, and Seamus isn't that bad because it's a joke. Echoes, however, is absolute peak Pink Floyd. Go listen to it, I won't spoil anything.
