I was expecting some “Sprokets” parody of itself. This isn’t that. It wasn’t my cup-of-tea but I see why it’s on this list. For the time it was released, I can imagine this being quite the revelation.

By Van Morrison (1970, #94)
What a great, frick’n, album! I didn’t have high hopes since I’ve heard the title track many times and don’t really enjoy it. But this whole album is just really enjoyable. Lots to recommend here.
By AC/DC (1980, #95)
This is what I needed today: just a fun, high engergy Rock ’n Roll album. I’m quite sure this was my first full listen, even if its most famous song (You Shook Me All Night Long) is unavoidable. But this is indeed a great album. Lots of really good songs and a cohesive whole.
By Pixies (1988, #96)
So I know this album well even if I haven’t listen to it end-to-end in a decade or more. And it’s great. I see why it rated inclusion in this list. The whole thing flows together into a cohesive, amazing, whole. Not that the Pixies ever had an album that didn’t sound like this, but still. All and all an amazing album.
By Neil Young (1972, #97)
This is an amazing album. Not sure there’s a loser among the bunch and it’s fricken’ packed with timeless songs. Heart of Gold. Old Man. The Needle and the Damage Done. Words (Between the Lines of Age). These are amazing songs on an amazing album. Kinda shocked this didn’t end up higher on the list, frankly.
