Rolling Stone's 144th greatest album of all time
This album features so many of the best hip hop songs. While the lyrics and the theme of the album is a little too crime-based, it certainly sets the scene for life on the streets of LA and what they went through growing up. Musically it is excellent as well. Express Yourself is obviously the highlight.

Rolling Stone's 354th greatest album of all time
A good jazzy rock album by Billy Joel, including the hit My Life. I have to admit I was first aware of this song when it was re-interpreted as "Number 1" by the 90s rock band A. An enjoyable jazzy and piano based album, all quite upbeat. So far, no questions over his fire-starting behaviour.

Rolling Stone's 417th greatest album of all time
I am not a fan of U2, so I was pleasantly surprised by this album, as it barely sounds like U2 at all. There is a definite post-punk/new wave feel to the album and much less the bland stadium rock they grew into. I didn't recognise any of the songs but would listen again.

Rolling Stone's 394th greatest album of all time
Easy listening (if you ignore the lyrics!) album, though it has to be said it just sounds like the Toy Story soundtrack (specifically "Strange Things" from the film). As a loose concept album about a deep South character, some of the lyrics and messages are a little strong for the laidback style (most notably on the opener Rednecks).

Brilliant 90s R&B album, featuring the superb Waterfalls, Creep and Sumthin Wicked This Way Comes. This album bought me a little time before my wife gets totally fed up with me listening to music for 10 hours a day as she listened to this on repeat during the mid 90s and enjoyed the re-listen.
