My Top 666 Albums Ever Part 7

558) Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me (1987)

Second album from J. Mascis and his indie rock group.
Best Song: Sludgefeast

557) Ryan Adams - 29 (2005)

The last of three albums Adams released in 2005.
Best Song: Carolina Rain

556) The Doors - Strange Days (1967)

The second album from the famed psychedelic rock group.
Best Song: Love Me Two Times

555) The Damned - Phantasmagoria (1985)

After pioneering UK punk, The Damned slowed their music down and started pioneering gothic rock instead.
Best Song: Grimly Fiendish

554) Dio - The Last In Line (1984)

Ronnie James Dio's second studio album, which doesn't quite reach the heights of his first, but is still better than all of his solo albums since then.
Best Song: The Last In Line

553) Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation (1977)

Classic album from the Irish rockers.
Best Song: Soldier Of Fortune

552) Aerosmith - Night In The Ruts (1979)

Aerosmith were a mess of in-fighting and drug addiction when this album came out, and as such it's the worst album they produced in the '70s. There's still enough to recommend it, though, as Aerosmith at their worst can do a lot better than a lot of bands at their best.
Best Song: No Surprize

551) Alice Cooper - Along Came A Spider (2008)

Alice Cooper's 25th album, and he's still producing music that's worth listening to.
Best Song: Vengeance Is Mine

550) Skunk Anansie - Paranoid & Sunburnt (1995)

The debut album from the Brixton rockers.
Best Song: Weak

549) Jay-Z - The Blueprint 2: The Gift And The Curse (2002)

Jay-Z's reach may have exceeded his grasp with this sequel to his classic album, but it does feature some great songs.
Best Song: '03 Bonnie & Clyde

548) Shakira - Laundry Service (2001)

Shakira's English language debut, which features much better music than 'Whenever, Wherever' suggested.
Best Song: Objection (Tango)

547) Jamiroquai - Synkronised (1999)

Another hit-filled release from Jamiroquai, though the big hit - 'Canned Heat' - pales in comparison to 'King For A Day', a scathing attack on the band's former bass player, Stuart Zender.
Best Song: King For A Day

546) Bob Dylan - Another Side Of Bob Dylan (1964)

Accused of "losing touch with the people" upon its release, this has proven to be one of Dylan's most enduring albums.
Best Song: Chimes Of Freedom

545) Silversun Pickups - Carnavas (2006)

Debut album from the indie rock band with Smashing Pumpkins style production values (layers and layers of distorted guitars)
Best Song: Well Thought Out Twinkles

544) Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (1994)

Scott Weiland and co's second album. It's their most beloved by their biggest fans.
Best Song: Empty

543) The Ramones - Mondo Bizarro (1992)

In 1992. The Ramones were still going strong with this, their twelfth album.
Best Song: Censorshit

542) Apocalyptica - Reflections (2003)

Finnish heavy metal cellist's fourth album of mainly instrumental tracks.
Best Song: Pandemonium

541) Incubus - Make Yourself (1999)

Incubus hit the big time with their third album, thanks to the crossover hit 'Drive'.
Best Song: Pardon Me
