Comments:

Who's Next - The Who
The absolute apex for The Who and home of the greatest "Yeah!!!" in Rock and Roll.

Zen Arcade - Hüsker Dü
The most intelligent and ambitious punk album ever made. A 23 song epic concept album that married violent cathartic noise with Beatlesque melodies.

Singles Going Steady - Buzzcocks
Essentially an album compiling their singles and B-sides displaying what a great noisy pop band they were.

Imperial Bedroom - Elvis Costello
Elvis shrugs off the "Angry Young Man" label to produce this album of timeless classic pop. It's mature, detailed, and surprisingly lush. Almost Blue brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. Amazing.

Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Haunting and sensual pop melodies swim amongst the dense, heavily over-dubbed guitars. Noise never sounded so beautiful.

Keep it Like a Secret - Built To Splll
Yeah, It's indie-rock..but it's really, really good indie-rock with well crafted and intelligent song writing. It's an album that, when under your skin, refuses to leave.
