Kill The Moonlight is indeed their best. However, it is showered with love and appeared on numerous best-of-the-decade lists. Not saying it isn't worthy, just that it does receive its share of...

In A Silent Way and A Tribute To Jack Johnson are my favorite Miles records. I know, I know, it's blasphemy to not include Kind Of Blue. I guess I'm keener on his fusion leanings.

Boxer is pretty darn stellar lyrically, but otherwise, I will agree he can get bogged down by his jabs at profundity. High Violet may be the worst he's been in this respect for quite some time as...

Two that haven't been mentioned yet are Harlem Street Singer by Rev. Gary Davis and Texas Sharecropper & Songster by Mance Liscomb. Perhaps not brushed with the renown of a Robert Johnson or B.B....

Certainly agree with this. Drake's writing on this record is just baffling to me (granted, I'm a bit of a fanboy) because the songs appear to be brief little pseudo-haikus or something yet every word...

Eh, his last two have been letdowns for me. Patchy stuff to say the least.

Dallas from The Natural Bridge is also wonderful.

I still prefer Shallow Grave to The Wild Hunt. The latter may boast better individual songs, but the former is listenable from front to back whereas I just can't get into King Of Spain and Kids On...

Ha yeah, I can't imagine Nevermind would work that well under those circumstances.

Pink Moon -- which seems to always be shrugged off as "depressing" -- is an album I can come back to regardless...

Slanted and Crooked Rain are indie-rock staples to be sure. I'm partial to the latter as it's become one of my summer favorites with Cut Your Hair, Gold Soundz, etc.

Disappointed with High Violet as Boxer was one of my favorites of the past decade and they seemed to forsake that insular vibe to aim higher here. Terrible Love for instance seems like a "big" song...

Pink Moon is my desert island record. Such haunting beauty in the atmosphere he cultivates with no more than his voice and guitar (piano bit off the title track notwithstanding). Those elemental...

Self-titled is probably his finest outing, though everything from that to The Late Great Townes Van Zandt is very good.
