4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

In The Court Of The Crimson King (Original Master Edition)
9.  In The Court Of The Crimson King (Original Master Edition) by King Crimson

England's Newest Hit Makers
11.  England's Newest Hit Makers by The Rolling Stones

Roxy Music
14.  Roxy Music by Roxy Music
The list author says:
  "Not only Roxy's but also Brian Eno's first go at twisting knobs & dabbling with effects. Andy Mackay too! The strangeness makes it a great listen, more than a Brian Ferry vehicle they since became."

Placebo
15.  Placebo by Placebo

Electric Music for the Mind &
17.  Electric Music for the Mind & by Country Joe & The Fish

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

Safe As Milk
19.  Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:

The Doors
20.  The Doors by The Doors

4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Lion and the Cobra
22.  Lion and the Cobra by Sinead O'Connor

Black Sabbath
23.  Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
