 | Exile on Main St. by The Rolling Stones
Buy used from: $19.71 Recorded in one day at Keith Richards' French Villa basement, this album is the pinnacle of soulful rock and roll. Jagger's vocals have never been better and the band displays reckless intensity throughout.
|
 | Pink Flag by Wire
Buy used from: $4.92 The most original and artsy punk album ever made, this album spans 22 songs in 37 minutes, creating a rush of punk creativity like nothing else before or since.
|
 | Low by David Bowie
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $6.49 The best example of rock and roll blended with electronic elements is also one of the most cathartic albums ever made. Artsy and fascinating.
|
 | Fun House by The Stooges
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.39 Rock and roll never sounded as raw, primal, and confrontational as this one. This is probably the most influential album of the 70's.
|
 | Before and After Science by Brian Eno
Buy used from: $2.68 A perfect blend of ambient and glam rock, Before and After Science is the best example of Eno's vision.
|
 | The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.00 The first and best glam rock album ever recorded is also David Bowie's most famous album, if not quite his best.
|
 | Heroes by David Bowie
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.25 Bowie and Eno team up yet again to create another album of genius, this is one that is not to be missed.
|
 | Another Green World by Eno
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $19.68 Eno explores new territory of the dynamics of sound and actually uses the studio as an instrument on this one. Highly bold and experimental.
|
 | Off the Wall by Michael Jackson
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $1.78 Picking this over Sticky Fingers was tough but, song for song, I am more entertained by it. "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" is my favorite dance pop song of all time. There aren't any weak songs to be found and Quincy Jones' production is stellar.
|
 | Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $7.29 This is considered the Stones' decadent album and with good reason. Seemingly every other song has a mention of drugs and/or despair and it can be grating at times. Still, there's no denying the power of "Brown Sugar", "Wild Horses", "Sister Morphine" and "Moonlight Mile".
