- Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
- Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
- The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers
- Green Day - American Idiot
- Alanis Morissette - jagged little pill
- Ween - Quebec
- David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
- black midi - Hellfire
- Duke Ellington - Far East Suite
- La Dispute - Rooms of the House
- Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
- Black Sabbath - Paranoid
- Sigrid - Sucker Punch
- Bad Religion - No Control
- Michael Jackson - Thriller
- Kylie Minogue - Fever
- Nas - Illmatic
- Protest the Hero - Palimpsest
- Lindsey Stirling - Warmer in the Winter
- Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
- The Ataris - So Long, Astoria

There's a substantial gap between my top five and the rest of my list, and my ranks of most of the latter are fluid, at least within a few spots.
