Abbey Road by The Beatles

No words needed

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones

Bookended by iconic tracks; but nothing in the middle stands out too much. Just some good ‘ol blues + fun tunes, which is fine. The stones can (and have — and WILL) do better though.

Tim by The Replacements

This is a tough one — it’s so close to perfection, but the band had to go and ruin Westerberg’s hot streak by giving us a lame song about cocaine. P.S. The ‘Let It Bleed’ edition is the definitive way to listen to this album

The Lumineers by The Lumineers

This started the ‘ho-hey’ phenomenon and created a landfill sub-genre of garbage music

The Cars by The Cars

Would be a 9 if songs 4-9 weren't dead weight
