The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
5.  The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd

Electric Ladyland
6.  Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
The list author says:
  "Hendrix's finest studio album. Revolutionary guitar playing and psychedelic blues, all blanketed in a haze of 'wah-wah' effects and the tragically under-rated beauty of Jimi's lyrics."

The Stone Roses
8.  The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
The list author says:
  "One of the finest debuts ever; from the slow, almost malevolent emergence of 'Adored' to the final swaggering arrogance of 'Resurrection', the Stone Roses capture a time, place and mindset perfectly."

London Calling
11.  London Calling by The Clash

Bat Out Of Hell

Songs of Leonard Cohen

Houses of the Holy =remas
20.  Houses of the Holy =remas by Led Zeppelin

Grace
21.  Grace by Jeff Buckley
The list author says:
  "Tragic and endlessly listenable, 'Grace' has the feel of a talent too great to be fully recorded. Amazing vocals and melodies ensure this is one of the great losses of music. Essential."

Nevermind
25.  Nevermind by Nirvana
