Any time a song from Born to Run comes on, I stop and listen to it. Every cut from this album is pure and you could make a case for being one of the greatest songs of all time. Bruce brilliantly goes between sweeping and understated. The matters discussed in this album are so related; it's really about growing up. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

Dark Side of the Moon is here because not only is every so great, but they mesh together so well to create an amazing product. I'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't like this album. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

Sgt Pepper feels like a dream, like it can't even be real. It continues to go back and forth between catchy and something more. A Day in the Life is a prime example, two songs written by two separate people somehow come together to create something awesome. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

Stevie Wonder successfully created an album that is both politically charged and damn fun to listen to. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

Writing this I'm wondering why I don't have this higher. One day a child is suddenly thrust into adulthood with no real idea of what he's doing. The easiest alternative is to run away. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

The songs mesh together in a way never before accomplished in a album. Justin Vernon created an album that may define our generation. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

The best part about Abbey Road is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. Paul laughing in Maxwell's Silver Hammer is one of the most memorable parts. Has a concept album feel but without the story. [First added to this chart: 12/13/2012]

You have a lot of classics. I respect them but however, they are not for me. BTW KOB I added because it is the best jazz I have ever heard, not because it is the most well known, I don't listen to music because it is well known, I listen to music because I really like it.
