Key Track: All
This album is front to back alternative rock masterpiece. From the intricate melodies to the lyrics (that have never been bettered), this is a lost classic.
2. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Key Track: "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)"
Before Pet Sounds, there wasn't anything like this in music, save Beethoven and Mozart. After it, there wouldn't be anything else to compare again. This invented modern pop.
3. The Replacements - Let It Be
Key Tracks: ALL
This band showed me that music was fun, and loose, and full of attitude and passion, and that even if it doesn't sound perfect, it can Be perfect.
