Appetite For Destruction
Guns N Roses
The greatest hard rock record of the last 20 years, and one of the greatest riffs (on "Sweet Child O' Mine") of the last 30. Almost single-handedly justifies the existence of every Sunset Strip hair metal band.
:: details :: buy now ::

# sixty-two

Achtung Baby
U2
Great artists produce a small handful of truly great work. Legends produce that handful and then some more after audiences have written them off as history. Achtung Baby is just such a reinvention.
:: details :: buy now ::

# sixty-three

Sticky Fingers
Rolling Stones
The quintessential Stones album: some tasteful musical exploration, a dollop of decadence, and RIFFS, RIFFS, RIFFS!
:: details :: buy now ::

# sixty-seven

The Stranger
Billy Joel
His document of modern alienation is arguably the perfect pop album of the '70s.

# seventy-three

Back In Black
AC/DC
As celebrations of hard rock excess go, there's not a single wasted note on this 1980 headbanger classic.
:: details :: buy now ::

# seventy-six

Imagine
John Lennon
The optimism of the title track (and virtually all of this album) best reflects the pop revolutionary's post-Beatles legacy.
:: details :: buy now ::

# seventy-nine

Star Time
James Brown
The hardest working man in show business transmutes R&B into funk over the course of this boxed set. And when the Godfather Of Soul makes you an offer, you can't refuse.

Odessey & Oracle
The Zombies
A concept album, but you wouldn't know it from the immaculately arranged, instantly memorable pop gems scattered throughout. Wherever you think this belongs on this list... think higher.
:: details :: buy now ::

# eighty-four

Lady Soul
Aretha Franklin
Here's where the Queen Of Soul gets her crown: an immaculate song selection with the Muscle Shoals crew (and guest guitarist Eric Clapton) in overdrive behind one of the greatest vocalists of the century.

Dusty In Memphis
Dusty Springfield
How do you give a British-born folk-pop singer a massive injection of soul? You send her to American Studios in Memphis, stand back, and let her do her stuff.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John
A bit unsteady? You would be too if your platform shoes were this tall. But of all his full-length albums, this one best captures Elton at his gloriously extravagant pop peak.
