Beastie Boys - "Paul's Boutique"

Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd
Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd (<-- I know it's not generally thought of as a great album, but really, it was. Syd Barrett was a genius, and it showed in his music.)

this is hard .....

most of the second bundle started in the top ten ... but the more I thought the more i changed my mind!

Everyone should have (at least) listened to Stone Roses debut album. In twenty years time this will still feature in most top ten albums of all time.

most under-rated album on my list must be Belly - Star. I'd recommend this to anyone .....

4. Tapestry---Carol King
5. Who's Next---The Who
6. The original "Tommy"---The Who again

8. Another agreement on "Tea For The Tillerman"
9. Yet another strong agreement on "The White Album"
10. "Peter Paul & Mary" ( the one with Puff The Magic Dragon on it)

Those were the ones that first came into my head as being consistent and memorable but there are a lot more.

These are close...

3. Def Leppard – Hysteria
4. Barenaked Ladies – Gordon
5. Moody Blues – Seventh Sojourn
6. Aerosmith – Get a Grip

1) Dark Side of the Moon---Pink Floyd
2) ...And out come the wolves---Rancid
3) Sing Loud, Sing Proud---Dropkick Murphys
4) Songs from an American movie vol 1---Everclear
