 | Ray of Light by Madonna
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.01 A true masterpiece. Madonna has created a truly lush, atmospheric and entrancing album. Includes the haunting Frozen, trippy Sky Fits Heaven, and the anthemic Ray of Light, which as Madonna has said, is her favorite track ever.
|
 | Hounds of Love by Kate Bush
Easily the most cohesive and brilliant piece of work by Kate. Every song is fantastic, and the song lineup flows effortlessly. A truly haunting and memorable collection. A must have for fans of this genre (Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Happy Rhodes.)
|
 | Bad Girls by Donna Summer
Buy new: $29.98 / Used from: $7.42 Donna's best and most provocative. Giorgio Moroder produced this post-disco pre-electronica album with sheer brilliance. Donna's vocals range from powerhouse to intimate. For fans of electronic music, nothing will ever match her masterpiece single I Feel Love, but tracks like Our Love, Lucky, and Sunset People sure come close. Timeless.

 | Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Buy new: $24.98 / Used from: $9.25 If you don't know this album, you don't know music. Period.
|
 | Tearing Down the Walls by E.G. Daily
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.55 The best album by someone most people never heard of. One of the truly greatest artists that never made it big that should have.
|
 | Violator by Depeche Mode
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $0.82 D'Mode's biggest and best.
|
 | The Wall (Deluxe Packaging Digitally Remastered) by Pink Floyd
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $13.99 Classic rock at its best. This is the epitome of a concept album, and one that works from start to finish. Great companion film came later.
|
 | She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $2.88 The album that started it all. Her crazy hair and silly put-on accent helped her stand out on MTV back in the day, but it's her sheer singing and performing genius that has kept her going all these years later. One of the best vocalists ever, that doesn't really get enough respect.
|
 | Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.01 Classic album that spoke to a generation. Alanis' popularity was unmistakable back in the 90's, and spawned countless wannabe rock chicks that never matched her brilliance. Avril who?
|
 | Debut by Björk
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $1.49 Admittedly, Bjork is an acquired taste. I think if adventurous music fans, particularly of electronica, gave this album a faire shake, they would become fans. Great stuff from this one of a kind artist.
|
 | Supernature by Goldfrapp
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.98 One of the most brilliant artists of our time. Music from this album saturated the media over the span of several years (commercials, TV shows, movies, etc.) and became the most licensed album since Moby's Play. I would put this on the level of his masterpiece in a heartbeat.
|
 | Play by Moby
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.01 Moby's breakthrough to the mainstream earned it's success one track at a time. So many of these songs made their way into our culture via many avenues; commercials, sports, clubs, TV shows, movies and on and on. This proved that licensing one's music doesn't mean selling out.
|
 | Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $2.00 Pure pop perfection. Powerhouse vocals on one memorable track after another. Chock full of hits. Kelly Kelly Kelly!
