1	The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967) more music like this by The Velvet Underground One would be hard pressed to name a rock album whose influence has been as broad and pervasive as The Velvet Underground and Nico. While it reportedly took over a decade for the album's sales to crack six figures, glam, punk, new wave, goth, noise, and nearly every other left-of-center rock movement owes an audible debt to this set. While The ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $8.66!
2	Hunky Dory (1971) more music like this by David Bowie After the freakish hard rock of The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie returned to singer/songwriter territory on Hunky Dory. Not only did the album boast more folky songs ("Song for Bob Dylan," "The Bewlay Brothers"), but he again flirted with Anthony Newley-esque dancehall music ("Kooks," "Fill Your Heart"), seemingly leaving heavy metal behind ... see all copies from $7.07! new only from $7.07!
3	Best of Bowie [US/Canada Bonus CD] (2002) more music like this by David Bowie David Bowie has switched labels so often his catalog is cluttered with hits compilations, all purporting to be definitive. Since he is one of the few major artists with no compunction against putting all his hits on one disc, they're all excellent, and 2002's Best of Bowie is no exception, no matter which country you live in (brief explanation: ... see all copies from $11.54! new only from $11.54!
4	Freak Out! (1966) more music like this by The Mothers of Invention One of the most ambitious debuts in rock history, Freak Out! was a seminal concept album that somehow foreshadowed both art rock and punk at the same time. Its four LP sides deconstruct rock conventions right and left, eventually pushing into territory inspired by avant-garde classical composers. Yet the album is sequenced in an accessibly logical ... see all copies from $9.46! new only from $11.05!
5	Heroes (1977) more music like this by David Bowie Repeating the formula of Low's half-vocal/half-instrumental structure, Heroes develops and strengthens the sonic innovations David Bowie and Brian Eno explored on their first collaboration. The vocal songs are fuller, boasting harder rhythms and deeper layers of sound. Much of the harder-edged sound of Heroes is due to Robert Fripp's guitar, which ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.43!
6	Perception [2008 Reissue] (2008) more music like this by The Doors see all copies from $55.49! new only from $69.48!
7	The Velvet Underground (1969) more music like this by The Velvet Underground Upon first release, the Velvet Underground's self-titled third album must have surprised their fans nearly as much as their first two albums shocked the few mainstream music fans who heard them. After testing the limits of how musically and thematically challenging rock could be on Velvet Underground & Nico and White Light/White Heat, this 1969 ... see all copies from $7.32! new only from $7.99!
8	Trout Mask Replica (1969) more music like this by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band Trout Mask Replica is Captain Beefheart's masterpiece, a fascinating, stunningly imaginative work that still sounds like little else in the rock & roll canon. Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 28-song double album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, ... see all copies from $11.87! new only from $14.14!
9	Scary Monsters (1980) more music like this by David Bowie David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments. Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, Bowie creates dense but accessible music throughout Scary Monsters. Though it doesn't have ... see all copies from $6.24! new only from $11.21!
10	The Man Who Sold the World (1970) more music like this by David Bowie Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.35!
11 view cover	Morrison Hotel (1970) more music like this by The Doors The Doors returned to crunching, straightforward hard rock on Morrison Hotel, an album that, despite yielding no major hit singles, returned them to critical favor with hip listeners. An increasingly bluesy flavor began to color the songwriting and arrangements, especially on the party'n'booze anthem "Roadhouse Blues." Airy mysticism was still ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $8.85!
12 view cover	Ziggy Stardust (1972) more music like this by David Bowie Borrowing heavily from Marc Bolan's glam rock and the future shock of A Clockwork Orange, David Bowie reached back to the heavy rock of The Man Who Sold the World for The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart ... see all copies from $3.45! new only from $9.78!
13 view cover	Horses (1975) more music like this by Patti Smith It isn't hard to make the case for Patti Smith as a punk rock progenitor based on her debut album, which anticipated the new wave by a year or so: the simple, crudely played rock & roll, featuring Lenny Kaye's rudimentary guitar work, the anarchic spirit of Smith's vocals, and the emotional and imaginative nature of her lyrics -- all prefigure the ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $10.76!
14 view cover	Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) (1974) more music like this by Eno Continuing the twisted pop explorations of Here Come the Warm Jets, Eno's sophomore album, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), is more subdued and cerebral, and a bit darker when he does cut loose, but it's no less thrilling once the music reveals itself. It's a loose concept album -- often inscrutable, but still playful -- about espionage, the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
15 view cover	For Your Pleasure (1973) more music like this by Roxy Music On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, and for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations. However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move ... see all copies from $8.13! new only from $8.27!
16 view cover	Roxy Music (1972) more music like this by Roxy Music Falling halfway between musical primitivism and art rock ambition, Roxy Music's eponymous debut remains a startling redefinition of rock's boundaries. Simultaneously embracing kitschy glamour and avant-pop, Roxy Music shimmers with seductive style and pulsates with disturbing synthetic textures. Although no musician demonstrates much technical ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.90!
17 view cover	New York Dolls (1973) more music like this by New York Dolls There are hints of girl group pop and more than a hint of the Rolling Stones, but The New York Dolls doesn't really sound like anything that came before it. It's hard rock with a self-conscious wit, a celebration of camp and kitsch that retains a menacing, malevolent edge. The New York Dolls play as if they can barely keep the music from falling ... see all copies from $6.85! new only from $6.85!
18 view cover	Here Come the Warm Jets (1974) more music like this by Eno Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, is a spirited, experimental collection of unabashed pop songs on which Eno mostly reprises his Roxy Music role as "sound manipulator," taking the lead vocals but leaving much of the instrumental work to various studio cohorts (including ex-Roxy mates Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, plus Robert Fripp and ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $14.38!
19 view cover	Berlin (1973) more music like this by Lou Reed Transformer and "Walk on the Wild Side" were both major hits in 1972, to the surprise of both Lou Reed and the music industry, and with Reed suddenly a hot commodity, he used his newly won clout to make the most ambitious album of his career, Berlin. Berlin was the musical equivalent of a drug-addled kid set loose in a candy store; the album's ... see all copies from $7.89! new only from $8.00!
20 view cover	The Best of the Doors [1985] (1985) more music like this by The Doors A well-chosen, 19-track compilation balancing the radio hits with the longer, more complex song poems. It's a good sampler (and contains enough of the good tracks from Strange Days that we didn't bother to list that album separately), but this is one group for whom you need to hear the whole story. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.74!
21 view cover	Blank Generation (1977) more music like this by Richard Hell & the Voidoids Richard Hell was one of the first men on the scene when punk rock first began to emerge in New York City as an early member of both Television and the Heartbreakers (he left both groups before they could record), but his own version of punk wasn't much like anyone else's, and while Hell's debut album, Blank Generation, remains one of the most ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $11.11!
22 view cover	Back in the USA (1970) more music like this by MC5 While lacking the monumental impact of Kick Out the Jams, the MC5's second album is in many regards their best and most influential, its lean, edgy sound anticipating the emergence of both the punk and power pop movements to follow later in the decade. Bookended by a pair of telling covers -- Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" and Chuck Berry's "Back ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $9.08!
23 view cover	#1 Record/Radio City (1992) more music like this by Big Star A two-fer combining Big Star's first and second albums, #1 Record/Radio City remains a definitive document of early-'70s American power pop and a virtual blueprint for much of the finest alternative rock that came after it. The lone Big Star record to merit the full participation of founder Chris Bell, the brightly produced #1 Record splits the ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.10!
24 view cover	Safe as Milk (1967) more music like this by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band Beefheart's first proper studio album is a much more accessible, pop-inflected brand of blues-rock than the efforts that followed in the late '60s -- which isn't to say that it's exactly normal and straightforward. Featuring Ry Cooder on guitar, this is blues-rock gone slightly askew, with jagged, fractured rhythms, soulful, twisting vocals from ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $9.78!
25 view cover	A Nod Is as Good as a Wink...to a Blind Horse (1971) more music like this by Faces The Faces' third album, A Nod Is as Good as a Wink...to a Blind Horse, finally gave the group their long-awaited hit single in "Stay with Me," helping send the album into the Billboard Top Ten, which is certainly a testament to both the song and the album, but it's hard to separate its success from that of Rod Stewart's sudden solo stardom. In the ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $9.20!
