It is getting really interesting to see how for you and Kevin, as you get into the top 30 for every expected and respected gem you guys both throw in things I have never heard but must now go and check out. I have sampled MF Doom but will listen to this and I have never heard anything by Alice Coltrane but absolutelywill listen to this in full, thanks to your amazing shoutout.
I cannot argue with any choices as all are bonafide works of genius. I struggle with Zep IV purely as you eluded to that it is the most overplayed album in rock radio history, as in it was played to death for me.
I have the luxury of having discovered Zeppelin in the early-2000s, and while they were still around a lot on the radio, I could only imagine that’s all you heard in the ‘70s.
“Madvillainy” is really starting to get its due in hip-hop circles. It was beloved as an alternative hip-hop album when it was released, but 20 years out, and you’re gonna start seeing it pop up in a lot of people’s top 10 hip-hop albums. Mark my words on that.
And glad you’re trying out Alice Coltrane! More people need to listen to her and especially that album. I promise it’ll be a magical experience!

This is the first of your lists where I love more than half (13/20) of the albums!
Check out the others and see if you love them as well
So many gems here....
That’s the goal! There was a lot of hairsplitting in my top 50.
We’re getting to the grassy plains of musical consensus. Still a lot I need to check out, London Calling looks interesting.
It's one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
