Love this. His voice takes center stage which is perfect because lyrically it's super strong. Bowie's production shines too.

Two stinkers in a row. Hard pass.

Kings of Leon getting not one but TWO albums on this list is wild. I could kind of get the other one just due to how big Sex on Fire is, but there's no excuse for this. It's not good.

Classic 90s alt rock. Definitely one of the most important and influential albums of the genre and probably their best album.

100% essential. Obviously it's hugely influential towards all of modern rock, but it also just rocks in and of itself.

Definitely has those 80s-isms but I do enjoy how passionate and intense the vocals are. The epic instrumentals and strings work really well with his voice.

Honestly kicking myself for not listening to this before. This absolutely rips. Lyrically it's super intense and dark and instrumentally every song is really rocking. I think maybe the name scared me off previously but I'm glad I finally listened.

I liked this one more than the other I listened to here. There's a good mix of more "normal" songs with some cool experimental noise stuff.

It’s tough to argue against this being Jack White’s magnum opus. It’s got everything you want out of him. Every song is an absolute ripper and it’s just so damn raw and powerful.

Solid work that occasionally reaches near the highs of The Pixies but overall is mostly rather be listening to them. It’s a bit overstuffed as well at over an hour.

I really love the mix of industrial and post-punk here, two genres I really love. The album perfectly straddles the line between aggressive and infectious. It's harsh as hell but still danceable.

Another really solid album from them. Immigrant Song in particular is one of my favorites. Lots of just straight rock bangers.

Classic industrial. Love how weird and non-musical it's willing to get. Hugely influential on the genre too.

I dig this album, it's fun and catchy. Danger Mouse's production is really great. It just still doesn't feel essential enough for this list though. I don't really see much long-term influence from it.

Love Muddy Waters. It's funny, he was one of the first on my list and now one of the last. Feels fitting. His voice is fantastic on this release, and the backing band does an amazing job.

This album is a great mix of their earlier, simpler pop songs and the weirder, more mature songwriting of their later era. So many incredibly catchy bops.

She has such a haunting voice. Very strong lyricism too. The music isn't exactly my thing but it isn't disruptive either. It suits her voice well.

While I definitely prefer Fat of the Land, I can't deny that there's a ton of bangers here. I think this one works better as a club album but FotL works better as a home listening experience.

Has everything I want from a mid-60s rock album. It feels a tiny bit dated but considering its age it's remarkably fresh still. Lots of variety.

Fuck this magat.
