41. The Doors – The Doors (1967)

A stunning new sound. Morrison’s powerful vocals and mythology inspired lyrics backed by an inimitable and powerful three-piece group. Guitar, organ and jazz drums is all you need to rock everyone’s socks.

42. The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Electric Ladyland (1968)

The most sprawling, experimental and diverse of the three legendary albums in Jimi’s lifetime. Four sides, his greatest classic, r&b, psychedelic freakouts, bubblegum pop and more.

43. David Bowie – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars (1972)

The definitive glam rock album. Bowie’s most iconic alter-ago and greatest backing band produce an album that both defines and heartbreakingly exposes the popstar life and concept.

44. Pink Floyd – Animals (1977)

The great forgotten masterpiece. Forgotten and most guitar-oriented and firmly rocking of Floyd’s four consecutive masterworks.

45. Fleetwood Mac – Rumours (1977)

From greatest turmoil comes greatest art, it is always said. Maybe so, maybe not. But in the case of this crazy quintet, interpersonal strife leads to one of history’s great pop albums.
