 | Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Buy used from: $2.49 Tied for first with Elephant. I like this cause its like a more experimental version for Elephant. Some may not like it as much cause it doesn't sound like regular rock, but that's why its good.
|
 | Elephant by The White Stripes
Buy used from: $1.70 Best album ever. Combines sounds of alternative, folk, blues and a little itty bitty bit of punk. Some people critisize the drumming, but it's supposed to be simplistic.
|
 | The Slider by T. Rex
Buy used from: $15.88 Better than Electric Warrior, there's more of a pop-esque sound which is why I like it. Better than any modern band (except the white stripes.)
|
 | The Eminem Show by Eminem
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.19 Eminem is criticized a lot, but he is the greatest word-smith around. Lyrical power of the East coast. Speed and talent of the North. Humor of the South. Beats and instrumentals of the West.
|
 | Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan
Buy used from: $5.77 Best rap group ever. The pinnacle of 90's rap. The instrumentals are incredible and sound like no other rap. Vocals and how they switch off are cool to. Gave birth to the Wu Legacy. The solo albums are great, but don't hold up to this.
|
 | The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.63 Hated by a lot of people, but don't take is so seriously. This album has a very epic sound and is like a mixture of Queen, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd. Just listen to it and make up your own mind. It's not emo, it's a glam rock opera.
|
 | VU by The Velvet Underground
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.31 Better than VU&N. Each song is great and there's a lot of variety in sound.
|
 | Illmatic by Nas
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.92 Everyone knows why this is good.
|
 | Transformer by Lou Reed
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.46 Lou Reed reached the success he wanted with this that he wanted during his VU days. Awesome album.
|
 | Abby Road by The Beatles
Buy used from: $180.28 Same with Illmatic, no need to explain myself for this.
|
 | Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Buy used from: $33.99 This movie is amazing, the soundtrack is oscar worthy. Amazing glam/punk.
|
 | Icky Thump by The White Stripes
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.90 Half "Get Behind Me Satan," half Elephant, all rockin.
|
 | Is This It by The Strokes
Buy new: $37.99 / Used from: $4.99 Not a bad song on this CD. Very chill and good guitar.
|
 | The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975 Film) by Richard O'Brien
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $1.83 Same as Hedwig and the Angry inch. Really fun music you want to sing along with in your car with a bunch of people.
|
 | Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $0.01 Don't listen to it expecting Licensed to Ill 2. This is the album that everyone hates on first listening, then like a month later they love it.
|
 | Consolers Of The Lonely
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.99 Expirience the entire history of rock music, from Robert Johnson, to Jimmy Page, to now, in one album.
|
 | White Light/White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.46 Incredible and intense, get ready for your ears to bleed. The foundation of punk.
|
 | Fever to Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.00 Best. Modern Pop. Ever.
|
 | Tyrannosaurus Hives by The Hives
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $2.95 The Hives are really punk when you think about it. This is the best get pumped music ever or you can just sit in your room and listen to it.
|
 | Witching Hour by Ladytron
Buy used from: $8.40 Sexiest album ever. I'm not a big electronica fan, but Ladytron, I like. They're rhythms are good and the two singers harmonize really well.
|
 | Only Built 4 Cuban Linx by Raekwon
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $6.98 Sort of like a sequel to 36 Chambers. Also the first album to start "mafia" rap.
|
 | Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.75 Reminds me of early Beatles in a weird way. This is another album that doesn't have a single bad song.
|
 | Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.98 Led's best. They're music is 30 years old and it hasn't aged at all.
|
 | Liquid Swords by Genius
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.82 Lyrically the best Wu-Tang album. He also creates an atmosphere with his sound. I read once, so now I'm going to steal it, that the best way to listen to this album is to take a walk in winter listening with old headphones.
|
 | Bat Out of Hell by Meat Loaf
Buy new: $15.93 / Used from: $3.10 Over the top, glorious and epic. There's a reason why this is the number 2 selling album ever. You can tell My Chemical Romance took a lot from Meat Loaf.
|
 | The White Stripes by The White Stripes
Buy used from: $4.99 Yeah, I really like the Jack White. Simplicity at its best. Early Stripes are still great. Jack actually considers this his best.
|
 | The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.58 We owe it so much, and yet so few have heard it.
|
 | Never Mind the Sex Pistols Here's the Bollocks by Various Artists
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.24 Best Punk. Better than The Ramones. Better the Clash (even though I Don't consider Clash punk.) Slightly better than X. Still holds up.
|
 | Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.41 I hate Blood Sugar Sex Magic, but I love this album. They create a whole mythology with their songs in this one. It's not considered a concept album, but I would say it is.
|
 | Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.01 It's probobly not my 30th favorite album, but it's all I could think of at this hour. It's really awesome. Best Wu since Liquid Swords, which is saying a lot cause like fifteen have some out since thn. Robert Christgua gave it an A+.
