Many albums are challenging and are an acquired taste, but ultimately the most rewarding. BUT some albums are great just from the first time!

  • The Clash - London Calling
  • Beatles - Abbey Road
  • REM: Reckoning
  • The Who - Tommy
  • Nirvana - Nevermind
  • Generation X - self titled
  • The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette
  • Supertramp - Breakfast in America
  • Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus etc.
  • Rush - Moving Pictures
  • The Cars - The Cars

Not expecting to break any new ground with that list.
