Add Dark side to the front of that and you get four in a row. Can't omit Dark side even if I do prefer wish you were here. If not for Obscured by Clouds "interrupting" the transition from Meddle into DSOM you would five excellent albums in a row. Obscured isn't even bad it's just not excellent. Meddle is excellent even if "Seamus" is filler.

Radiohead - The Bends. Still my favorite from them. From way back in 1993, hard to believe...

Who's Next from start to finish.

Linkin Park - Minutes To Midnight
Halestorm - The Strange Case of
Metallica - 72 Seasons, Load (even though a lot of purists didn't like it)
Deep Purple - In Rock
Alice Cooper - Killer, From The Inside, Hey Stoopid
Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Master of Reality

Absolutely mind blowing.

Harvest Neil Young

Exile on Main St

self-titled album and Cleopatra.

I love III and Brightside as well, but those took me personally a little longer to chew on.

The Road To Ensenada ......... Lyle Lovett
The Stranger ...............Billy Joel

Speaking of Linkin Park, their first album is still one of my favorites. Everything else after that they produced was "OK" but man, Hybrid Theory was an everyday listen from beginning to end in 2000-2001.

...gotta start listening to some of them again

Since we're talking music. Apple Music has entered the game of pissing off the Internet and producing a top 100 albums list.
Get mad ready to get mad! - ( New Window )

Revolver
Rubber Soul
Sgt. Peppers
Quadrophenia
Zeppelin IV
Kind of Blue


If you looked at the titles I just mentioned and knew the artist - you made my arguement.

Waiting for Columbus
Live at the Filmore East.

Ten was amazing from the first few notes of Evenflow. And they weren't really a well-known band at the time. I got the album from one of those CD clubs.

Signals for me.

Played the vinyl so many times I basically wore out the groves.
