My Top 666 Albums Ever Part 2

648) Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (1992)

Debut solo album from the pianist and feminist icon
Best Song: Crucify

 

647) Social Distortion - Mommy's Little Monster (1983)

Not many people realise that Social Distortion's self-titled album from 1990 isn't actually their debut. This album from 1983 actually is.
Best Song: Another State Of Mind

 

646) The Offspring - Americana (1998)

The first time I saw pop-punk on TV was when The Offspring played 'Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)' on Top Of The Pops. Marking the moment the genre became commercial.
Best Song: The Kids Aren't Alright

 

645) Queen - Innuendo (1991)

Queen's final album before Freddie Mercury's tragic death. Some of the songs (including 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives') act as Freddie's personal goodbye to his fans.
Best Song: These Are The Days Of Our Lives

 

644) Pixies - Doolittle (1989)

Second album from the influential "alt. rockers".
Best Song: Debaser

 

643) The Offspring - Days Go By (2012)

The Offspring's latest album. Sounds just like all of the other Offspring albums, really, but it's fun.
Best Song: The Future Is Now

 

642) Alanis Morisette - Havoc & Bright Lights (2012)

The latest from the Canadian singer/songwriter.
Best Song: Woman Down

 

641) Alice In Chains - Alice In Chains (1995)

Until recently, this was the last full-length album we'd heard by Alice In Chains. Not as strong as their previous work, but worth a listen nonetheless.
Best Song: Again

 

640) The Black Crowes - Croweology (2010)

The blues rockers go over their back-catalogue with acoustic renditions.
Best Song: Remedy

 

639) Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk (2002)

Concept album about the state of a post-9/11 America... which was pretty original less than a year after it had happened.
Best Song: A Sorta Fairytale

 

638) The Muffs - Blonde And Blonder (1995)

Best known record from the female-fronted California pop-punks.
Best Song: Oh Nina

 

637) Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood (2000)

Manson's angry response to those who chose to use him as a scapegoat for the Columbine school massacre. Sadly, still a relevant album today.
Best Song: The Nobodies

 

636) Kanye West - Graduation (2007)

Proof that sometimes insufferable ego's sometimes do produce good music... though not as good as he thinks it is.
Best Song: Stronger

 

635) Tenacious D - The Pick Of Destiny (2006)

Great soundtrack to a lacklustre movie.
Best Song: POD

634) System Of A Down - Toxicity (2001)

With Toxicity, System Of A Down hit the big-time.
Best Song: Toxicity

 

633) Queens Of The Stone Age - Lullabies To Paralyze (2005)

Follow-up to 2002's 'Songs For The Deaf', and their first minus Nick Oliveri. Features some great rockers, but some of the longer tracks are too repetitive.
Best Song: Everybody Knows That You Are Insane

 

632) The Distillers - The Distillers (2000)

Brody Armstrong/Dalle/Homme's punks burst onto the scene with this debut.
Best Song: L.A. Girl

 

631) Ray Charles - Yes Indeed! (1958)

Classic album from the original blind pianist/soul singer.
Best Song: It's Alright
