32. Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (1975)

How do you follow one of the biggest behemoths of all time? Same crisp clean new production and universal thematic depth, but more brooding, patient and melancholy. Quintessential Pink Floyd and global classic.

Bonus 60 – Part 3 (of 12)

The Kinks – The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968) Increasingly underrated as time has passed due to just how old and quaint a band like The Kinks is (particularly in this peak tea and biscuits mode), and because Ray Davies is kind of an awful man. But this album is still great

44. Pink Floyd – Animals (1977)

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