Thank you sir!

29. Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade (1984)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s1093.jpg
Definitely one of the greatest albums of the 1980s - this is an influential record, but it's also one that has stood the test of time as a very powerful and enjoyable one, undeniable influence aside.

30. The Jesus Lizard - Goat (1991)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s741.jpg
Definitely one of my favorite albums of the 1990s. This album is incredibly fun and must be played loud.

31. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (1979)

The atmosphere this album creates is hauntingly beautiful, and it's no wonder why this album was such a trailblazer for things to come. Just great.

32. King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King (1969)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s2328.jpg
This is, in my mind, the true masterpiece of prog-rock, not some Pink Floyd record. Definitely one of the best albums of the 1960s. Beautiful.

33. Kraftwerk - Autobahn (1974)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s5481.jpg
Definitely one of the greatest electronic albums of all-time. To me, this is Kraftwerk's finest hour. If you listen to any one of their albums, have it be this one.

34. Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II (1984)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s38.jpg
This is a very fun album, and one of the most unique punk records I think you'll ever hear. It's amateur in a good way. It does have its flaws, but I think that's what I like about it.

35. Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s17906.jpg
Quite simply, this might be the best jazz record of all-time. I have trouble deciding between this and The Magic City, but really, this is totally amazing. A masterpiece of epic proportions and all that.

36. Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime (1984)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s1110.jpg
My favorite album of 1984. Probably the finest hardcore album ever (if it can even be defined as such). There's no shortage of good songs on here - for a record with 40+ songs, there are hardly any low points. If there are, they're easily washed away by the several absolutely great songs that surround them.

YES! The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is gorgeous, on par with everything else Mingus has done. I do like Mingus Ah Um more, but that's to be expected.

I'm very tempted to check some of these albums out.

Good list. :)

I'm really liking this list so far.

Thank you sirs!

37. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s355.jpg
This is a beautiful album. Loveless is definitely a contender for the best of the 1990s, and it's not hard to see why. I'm not sure that I find it as awe-inspiring as others do, but it's a must-listen nonetheless.

38. Neu! - Neu! (1972)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s2645.jpg
This still has a lasting impact on music. Neu!'s debut was far beyond its time, and if the first track "Hallogallo" doesn't mesmerize you I don't know what to say.

39. New York Dolls - New York Dolls (1973)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s10004.jpg
This might be one of the most influential albums of all time. I think Morrissey claims that seeing the New York Dolls on the Old Grey Whistle Test had the biggest influence on his music of anything, and I believe it. This laid the groundwork for the style that punks would later adopt.

40. Nico - The Marble Index (1968)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s8428.jpg
Probably the most experimental of any of the VU's members' solo records (other than Desertshore or Metal Machine Music, I guess). This isn't an easy record - it's dark, haunting, droning. At the same time, though, it has sort of a gloomy beauty to it that can take a while to sink in, but when it does it's fantastic.

ooh sams going to have something to say about 37

41. Arvo Pärt - Tabula Rasa (1984)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/albu...es/s137491.jpg
Even when I wasn't into classical music this album appealed to me. It's definitely one of the most engaging pieces of modern classical that I've heard. I think it's probably as timeless as anything.

42. Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance (1978)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s792.jpg
Okay, this is my favorite album from 1978, probably by far. It's another fine example of the avant-garde mixed with pop music to a wonderful effect. Quite simply, this is some of the post perfect pop music I have ever heard, and certainly some of the most fun.

43. Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s1030.jpg
A landmark of psychedelia! As tired as some people might think the "Syd Barrett was the true genius of Pink Floyd" claim is, this is the album that led me to that conclusion on its own, and I've never looked back.

44. Public Image Ltd. - Metal Box (1979)
http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s16347.jpg
This isn't for everyone. It's an album that, yes, you do have to be in the mood for, but when you are, it delivers. This is dark, repetitive, and abrasive, but also as enjoyable as can be.

Already had my say elsewhere. :D

I was listening to three of those four albums earlier today, guess something on there is good. ;)
