This album has fucking Free Bird on it. Come on, you know it's getting 5 stars. Rest of the album is great, too, but FREE BIRD!!!!

When I saw this album cover, I knew exactly what it would sound like and that I would probably like it a lot. I was correct on both counts.

Bombastic over the top rock and roll at it's finest. Paradise By The Dashboard Light is worth the price of admission alone.

I think this would have been much better without the dated late 90s/early 2000s production. It sounds like they would have played songs from this on VH1 back in the day between Natalie Merchant and Sarah McClachlan videos.

Steve Albini rules.

I appreciate that this list has a no compilation rule. The Rolling Stone list is particularly egregious in that respect. However, some artists, while very important, are much better served by a singles comp. Elvis is a clear example of this. Most of the tracks on here are perfectly fine but forgettable. The only ones I really vibed with were the hits, most of them which are technically bonus tracks. I'll stick with the greatest hits.

Gambit from X-Men totally has this shit on vinyl.

This is the kind of wacky shit that I do this challenge for. What if John Coltrane did a grindcore record. Absolutely bonkers but somehow works amazingly.

Another one of those beautifully orchestrated and sung albums that I'll forget almost immediately after listening to it. Just kind of sounds all the same after a while.

Today is 4/20 and I got this album, which is objectively hilarious.

Anyway, great album. I feel like half of Bob Marleys Legend comp comes here.

Sorry, hipsters, but this shit is boring. I guess moaning over sustained guitar notes works for some people but I prefer actual riffs and songs.

Man, I love how beautiful these old album covers were. Works of art all of them. Love the musical arrangements on here and Frank's voice (obviously). Really sounds like late night heartbreak.

It's a shame Blur are most known in the state for a piss take on grunge music because Blur is an amazing band. So much variety on this album.

The singer has a decent voice, but once again it's another overlong boring dated techno album. This one also has a terrible Neil Young cover. I just don't get why there's do many albums like this on the list.

I've never been a big Who guy. I honestly think they're overrated. That being said, this is a great album and really the only time I ever believed the hype when it comes to these guys.

This is a great rap album. The title track goes unbelievably hard. It doesn't appear that this album is currently on streaming, but you can find it easily on youtube and its well worth the effort despite the fact there are multiple ads between each song.

Like a lot of these new wave albums, we've got one amazing single and a bunch of forgettable non-singles. Just add Pretty In Pink and Love My Way to your 80s playlist and you're good.

Seriously. What's more rock and roll than New York Dolls?

I think I prefer Live Through This. This one is a bit too polished. Still, some bangers on here.

That parade song was out of place and terrible. The rest was pretty chill though.
