Why try and debate that? Greatest debut album of all time and it contains at least 3 songs which belong on a list of the top 10 rock songs of all time. Yet Chicago rapper Common (then known as Common Sense) still managed to stand out with his smart, jazz-tinged sophomore LP, "Resurrection." "Me Against the World" is 2Pac at his best. The production quality is crystal clear and even Led Zeppelin themselves couldn't replicate this sound afterwards and every song is a masterpiece although the side 2 of the album is often overlooked. Pitchfork's highest rated albums of all time. Appetite for Destruction is one of the best albums ever made, by one of the best band ever: Guns n Roses, my fourth favourite band. I love Karma Police, No Surprises, Exit Music (for a film), Let Down and Paranoid Android!Gotta love the ignorance of all these pop-culture-cozy blockheads who think that Lady Gaga or Justin Timberlake are "OMGosh the greatest thing ever to grace music. "

peppers, (which are very clearly 2 of the best ever written) but regardless I think this album should be up there right close to number 1. Some say "Makaveli" is 2Pac's best album. His hunger on this album is unmatched. I personally believe this deserves a higher spot than OK Computer. Pink Floyd are awesome and I really like Dark Side, but The Beatles albums are just so damn good that no other band can come close. Combine that with amazing flows, beats and storytelling and you'll get one of the best albums of all time.This is a very vivid and dense collection of truthful and intelligent Hip Hop songs rooted in funk, jazz, soul, psychedelia, and poetry.

By. The 2nd best album of all time after thriller. Pink Floyd have diferent periods, they started by the psicodelic rock, continue with the symphonic, the space, the experimental, the concept albums...all this made they where considered a prog rock band. You'll love it!Best Album ever and second best selling album worldwide. I know linkin park gets associated with the angsty teenager phase all the time, but that joke is getting old. People here actually agree with youThat part in "Let Down" where Thom sings "you'll know where you are, you'll know where you are" is the something you'll never hear ever again, it's the most aesthetically pleasing piece of music of all time. Striking a balance between pleasant and pugnacious, "Mama Said Knock You Out" marked Uncle L's growth as a rapper. Not a single filler song, I could listen to it over and over all day long. The largely instrumental album sounded like nothing else that was out in 1996. Containing some of Pink Floyd's grandest songs (Another Brick in the Wall, Young Lust, Hey You, Run Like Hell, The Trial, and of course, Comfortably Numb), The Wall is an album you truly have to listen to from beginning to end in order to get the story of it all.We all know Bohemian Rhapsody and stuff... but Queen had other good songs on this album, too!

This is the final masterpiece of the most famous band in history, at their peak and (despite the tenuous relationships) their most cohesive, a truly magnificent piece of work.Even though my favorite Led Zeppelin album is Houses Of The Holy, this one is certainly their best.

While his peers bragged about the size of their manhood, Rakim styled on them with peculiar precision. Listen to the songs again, and you'll realize almost every song has incredible depth. Octopus is in my opinion one of Ringo's worst songs, and Her Majesty leaves the last album on a pathetic trombone instead of on a great note. It's a reflection on the tragedies of life and human insanity. Dark Side was PFs make or break album where they weren't really sure where they were going and WYWH was where they had the confidence musically and lyrically to know what they were giving the world.A masterpiece of experimental rock, and a brilliant concept album. Why the heck? Create your own chart by date, genre, location, and more.

Linkin Park itself needs as much attention as nirvana (who were completely garbage).

Even though it's original listeners are grown now, everyone still gets those times when they feel they want to look back on their own pasts, and this album is inspiring the next generation as well. All song are so diverse and so unique that the best of PF and Beatles and LZ also can be only second to it. In my opinion doolittle, ziggy stardust, in rainbows, plastic ono band and bringing it all back home should be top 20, all far better than sgt peppers and thriller. Maybe not the greatest album ever, but this was so painfully low and is truly an outstanding work of art. A cohesive reflection on black identity with amazing lyricisim and impressive experimentation. Perfect album. Jimmy Page puts his heart and soul into stairway, John Paul Jones shows up with one of the most powerful bass riffs ever in "When the Levy Breaks," John Bonham kicks it up to 11 in "Four Sticks" and Robert Plant has never sounded like he's had more fun than in "Rock and Roll." It's very consistent. I don't like the argument that just because an album was the "foundation" for other albums that followed means that album was greater. I was completely awestruck. There are great hip-hop albums, and then there's "Illmatic."
