1.Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Ella and Louis (1956)

Ella and Louis has to be one of the greatest couples that ever recorded music together. Ella's sweet and elegant voice and Louis' expelling charisma are the perfect background for the most loveliest lyrics and instrumentals I've heard in any jazz record. Cute stuff.

2.Little Richard

Here's Little Richard (1957)

The Prince of the 1950s, or at least when it comes to their explosive, loud, over-the-top presentation. While the instrumentals and song structures can be a little one note for rock & roll standards and it's traditionally "substanless" compared to other albums of that year, Richard's performances are some of the most wildest and entertaining demonstrations of unfiltered energy. Extremely catchy, spontaneous and simply fun to listen to. The Prince of the 1950s, or at least when it comes to their explosive, loud, over-the-top presentation.

3.Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely (1958)

Essentially, the refined version of In the Wee Small Hours. There's very few albums of that decade that could capture melancholy, sadness, depression, vulnerability and hopeless solitude as this albums does. Powerful and rich arrangements to accompany one of the most powerful and rich voices of all time. A masterpiece of human decay. Essentially, the refined version of In the Wee Small Hours.

4.Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers

Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers [Moanin'] (1959)

Why is Kind of Blue so high again? The instrumentals are exhuberant, the performances are energetic, the production is organic, and while it isn't as experimental as Charles Mingus' records of the same year, this album is highly enjoyable and basically the jazz equivalent of dopamine. The definition of a literal bop. Why is Kind of Blue so high again?

Samba esquema novo (1963)

"Mas, que nada!" is one of the greatest opening songs of all time, and the rest isn't that behind too. There's a clear influence from their contemporaries like Gilberto Gil and Meirelles, but Ben's sturdy and relentlessly piercing voice along with its beautiful arrangements and songwriting makes it for one of the best samba albums ever conceived.

It's afternoon on Copacabana and you're sitting in the beach while you're looking at the sunset and the sun is hiding under the blue ocean. No preocuppations, no worries, no troubles, as you're listening to João Gilberto's smokey, deep and calming voice while Stan Getz gently embellish the soft instrumentals with its saxophone.

It's preposterous to me start to talk how "widely influential" or "very unique and strange" this album is, because (to me at least) it is so unnecessary to explain why I personally love this album. We all know how it is and how it sounds like, I love it, you love it, almost everyone does. It's a freewheeling album that birthed one of my favourite genres and it is still to this day the only album that make my tinnitus enjoyable... well, along with another one, heh.

Tago Mago (1971)

This is too good of a review for me to not share with y'all:

Profile photo for 1Chops Review by 1Chops

It's secretly a concept album about a young man who is about to die.

In Side A he is diagnosed with a terminal illness. This brings him into a deep depression which he struggles with, eventually he experiences hallucinations ("Well I saw skies are red")

In Side B he realizes that his days are numbered, and staying indoors and moping is no way to while away his final moments. He decides to enjoy his final days and PARTY WILD! GET CRUNK! During this period he takes some drugs and does some real bad things. I guess this would be set in the late 60s

In Side C after the latest night in a month of wild debauchery, the illness finally claims him. He then travels to hell and experiences awful, ghastly thingz

In Side D our antihero makes his escape. He blunders on, from eldritch corridor to eldritch corridor, eventually stumbling upon hell's deepest circle. What he sees frightens him deeply (hence Suzuki's grizzled wailings). He eventually finds the exit but a big ol Cerberus beast is on his tail. He escapes and returns to our earthly realm, but lives the rest of his life as a traumatised wreck. He cannot form a coherent sentence, which is why "Bring Me Coffee Or Tea" has such nonsensical lyrics. THEE END.

17.Yes

Close to the Edge (1972)

I wholeheartedly love Clube da Esquina, but it isn't Close to the Edge. Pink Moon is a raw, earnest, sparse masterpiece of sorrow and easily the most haunting album of that year, but it isn't Close to the Edge. Basically the most fun, vibrant, colorful, over-the-top, mind-bending, creative, catchy, bouncy, sublime, tight, epic, monolithic, astonishingly blissful and beautiful prog rock album of all time. There's not gonna be another album like this ever again, and I'm so grateful it exists. The culmination of musical expression as a whole.

"Heroes" (1977)

I'm still struggling if I prefer this over the wonderful proto-Ichiko Aoba piece that A Boy ボーイ is, but the title track is just a 10 alone. This is David Bowie's peak, emotionally, artistically, experimentally, lyrically, and everything positive ending on -"lly". This is David Bowie's darkest yet finest moment, and wow I just can't help but love it.

23.Silvio Rodríguez

"Al final de este viaje..." (1978)

Fucking language barrier, man. Basically, if this album were on English it would be above and higher than Pink Moon, because compositionally and especially lyrically this album is so much better. There's no album that's as poetic, as important and can resonate as much with as this album does. Simply gorgeous. Silvio Rodríguez is one of the best singer/songwriters of all time, and I hope one day this site recognize it as such.

Profile photo for Pandejumbo Review by Pandejumbo

The smell of my mom's notebooks, my dad's old car, the nights going from the same beach where they first met to our home. Al Final de este Viaje is a pretty evocative record for me, most of these songs used to be the soundtrack of our holiday trips during my childhood, with my parents singing along and me falling asleep to the gorgeous guitar playing of Rodríguez.
I can't fight the amount of feelings that this album gives me.

Eskimo (1979)

I don't listen to this album very often because I seriously question my mental sanity after a while. Anyway, to this very day there's not an album that sounds as creative and has such a weird-ass concept exists. It's almost post-post modern and trascendental. An atmosphere so cold yet freaky would never be replicated again. I don't listen to this album very often because I seriously question my mental sanity after a while.

Alturas de Machu Pichu (1981)

In a fair world, this is regarded as one of the seminal and most exquisite prog rock albums of all time. Poetic, tightly constructed around the works of chilean poet Pablo Neruda, rich from a musical standpoint and oddly catchy despite its combination of prog rock and andean rock tendencies. One of a kind album that's been a favourite of mine since my childhood. Am I biased because of that? Maybe. And I don't give a shit.

Man, 1985 was truly a lame year for music, but at least we have this.

This is if Brian Wilson tried to make music that sounded if the only thing he listened to was The Velvet Underground and was kidnapped in a room with shitty equipment and guitars. I dunno why, but it sounds like that for me.

But last night on your birthday in the kitchen,
My grip was loose, my eyes were open.
I felt your shape and heard you breathing,
I felt the rise and fall of your chest.
I felt your fall,
Your winter snows,
Your gusty blow,
Your lava flow.
I felt it all:
Your starry night,
Your lack of light.
With limp arms I can feel most of you.
I hung around your neck independently
And my loss was overwhelmed
By this new depth I don't think I ever felt.

This album.
This album is the true representation of love, this album is the manifestation of the most pure, genuine and most beautiful soul-touching sentiments a person can express for others.
It's quiet, it's subtle, it's not even perceptible, but when you realize is there, you can't stop thinking about it. It takes a part of your heart, your soul, your body, and even your values and how you see others. It isn't uncontrolled, chaotic, or turbulent, even in its most unwaveringly moments of hesitation, solitude and overwhelming uncertainity.
This is what love is about, and this album is a part of my life. This album is a part of me.
Thank you, Frank.

Natalie Mering chose the perfect title and album cover for this record: this album feels incredibly sorrowful and covered in melancholy and regret, and the only way to get over everything is starting to being the best version of yourself, start to make your ship afloat. An excellent record that I can't recommend enough.

65.Fiona Apple

Fetch the Bolt Cutters (2020)

This album doesn't feel like an "album", it feels like a theatrical show. Fiona Apple's raw personality, combined with its incredibly expressive singing and beautiful, sharp poetry about the exploration of the worst and best of our human nature, is something that I resonate to the core. I adore this. This album doesn't feel like an "album", it feels like a theatrical show.
