The Best Albums Of All Time, (In My Opinion)

A Listmania! list by J. Finegold "JRF" (United Kingdom)
(REAL NAME)   
 
The Doors (Expanded) [40th Anniversary Mixes]
1.  The Doors (Expanded) [40th Anniversary Mixes] by The Doors
The list author says:
  "The best album ever. Simply, shockingly, amazingly good. Every single track is a classic. My personal favourite being the great, jazzy, improvisation, genius that is "Light My Fire". Astounding album."
£3.99   Used & New from: £2.72
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

The Velvet Underground and Nico
2.  The Velvet Underground and Nico by Velvet Underground
The list author says:
  "An orgy. This psychedelic, deranged, perverted sound that Lou Reed gives is astonishing. Never sold well in it's time but it's finally been recognised for what it is...genius."
£4.99   Used & New from: £1.87
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Songs of Leonard Cohen
3.  Songs of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
The list author says:
  "This album makes me weak at the knees. Not a single bad moment on the whole album. Intensely deep lyrics by the greatest lyricist of all time - Leonard Cohen. Fantastic and shockingly under rated."
Used & New from: £1.98
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Blonde On Blonde
4.  Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
The list author says:
  "Amazing. Bob Dylan always has something good to offer, but this is the cherry on the delicately iced sponge cake with a creamy/jammy filling. Another fantastic lyricist and simply awesome sounds."
£4.99   Used & New from: £1.84
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (67 customer reviews)

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
5.  The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd
The list author says:
  "Amazing. The musical version of Syd Barret's insane mind. The best possible debut album for a band such as Pink Floyd. "Flaming" and "Interstellar Overdrive" are the best of the album. A stunner."
Used & New from: £4.28
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (33 customer reviews)

Faust
6.  Faust by Faust
The list author says:
  "Often expells belief. Utterly deranged Krautrock which never fails to impress. Under rated and unheard of by most. A truly epic mesh of great sounds. Shockingly good."
£11.79   Used & New from: £10.00
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Electric Ladyland
7.  Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
The list author says:
  "Hendrix's finest. Another album where every sound is delightful. Hendrix's personal favourite too. "1983" and "Voodoo Child" are the long epics that sell the album. Fantastic!"
Used & New from: £14.00
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (44 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Trout Mask Replica
8.  Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "An album that is more often than not, unexplainable. A "Marmite Album", you either love it or dismiss it as the worst album ever. It is innovative with sweetly deranged insanity. A must!"
Used & New from: £3.99

In the Court of the Crimson King
9.  In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson
The list author says:
  "True progressive rock. As progressive rock as progressive rock gets. Supremely fantastic. My personal favourite is "I Talk To The Wind". A stunning debut by King Crimson."
Used & New from: £13.98
3.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Wish You Were Here
10.  Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
The list author says:
  "The best of the "classic" Pink Floyd. A super sequel to their classic "The Dark Side Of The Moon". A very consistent album and again, not a bad moment. All 5 songs are classics."
Used & New from: £8.15
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (166 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Modern Dance
11.  Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
The list author says:
  "An under rated classic. Truly epic with impressive yet unusal vocal performances. A lot is to be learned from this album and it is a must-listen!"
£12.28   Used & New from: £3.29
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Loveless
12.  Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
The list author says:
  "Simply amazing. This album's chaotic sound is stunning and gave music a make over. It is like a scream in the night, another must-listen."
Used & New from: £5.46

Abbey Road
13.  Abbey Road by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "A lot of you might be shocked that the first Beatles album of the list is this low down and that it isn't Sgt. Pepper! Tough. The Fab 4's best and a cracking album, the medley at the end is fantastic!"
£8.99   Used & New from: £7.32
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (169 customer reviews)

The River
14.  The River by Bruce Springsteen
The list author says:
  "A supreme work. Definately Springsteen's finest. This album has everything needed of an album. It is full of catchy songs. This album is a generic sound turned unique."
Used & New from: £3.48
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Strange Days
15.  Strange Days by The Doors
The list author says:
  "Smashing album. The Doors can certainly pull off an amazing album. A stunning sequel to their first self-titled album. The epic "When The Music's Over" never fails to impress, nor does the rest."
£5.80   Used & New from: £1.23
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Highway 61 Revisited
16.  Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
The list author says:
  "Another classic by Bob Dylan! Containing the classic "Like A Rolling Stone", the mysterious "Ballad Of A Thin Man", and the personal "Desolation Row". An album of personal lyrics and great sounds."
£3.99   Used & New from: £2.99
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (54 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Exodus
17.  Exodus by Bob Marley
The list author says:
  "Reggae's first appearance on the list and the legendary Bob Marley's finest work. Full of classic songs and another album where every moment is good. Such a beauty of an album."
Used & New from: £2.48
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Zen Arcade
18.  Zen Arcade by Hüsker Dü
The list author says:
  "Fantastic album. A punk nightmare. The final track, the long, epic "Reoccuring Dreams" completely clinches the album as one of the best. It is a sonic genius album."
£18.62   Used & New from: £7.60
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Revolver
19.  Revolver by The Beatles
The list author says:
  "The Beatles' second best album. An album packed with catchy tunes like the famous "Yellow Submarine" and of course the futuristic, timeless, psychedelic classic - "Tomorrow Never Knows". A fab album."
Used & New from: £0.75

Are You Experienced
20.  Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
