99. The Flying Burrito Brothers - The Gilded Palace of Sin
February 1, 1969
Critic Score

2 reviews
96. Madonna - Madonna
July 27, 1983
Critic Score

4 reviews
Still, without overstepping the modest ambitions of minimal funk, Madonna issues an irresistible invitation to the dance.
86. Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city
October 22, 2012
Critic Score
89
26 reviews
Lamar is an unlikely star: a storyteller, not a braggart or punch-line rapper, setting spiritual yearnings and moral dilemmas against a backdrop of gang violence and police brutality.
81. Gang of Four - Entertainment!
September 1, 1979
Critic Score

4 reviews
On their combative, compulsively dance-y 1979 debut album, Entertainment!, Gill's fractured rhythm guitar shreds chords and roars anti-solos as Allen's funk bass supplies melody and Burnham rocks steady.
74. The xx - xx
October 6, 2009
Critic Score
85
23 reviews
Four pouty kids from South London, barely out of their teens, the xx see nothing wrong with playing Timbaland or Jam and Lewis-style R&B with an indie band's chops.
67. 50 Cent - Get Rich or Die Tryin'
February 6, 2003
Critic Score
75
9 reviews
Get Rich or Die Tryin' is so full of life, it makes you hope the only bullets 50 will need to fire from now on are metaphorical.
61. The Libertines - Up The Bracket
October 14, 2002
Critic Score
85
6 reviews
Eventually every song will kick in from a slightly different angle, including faux folk and cracked ballad.
56. Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
July 8, 2007
Critic Score
84
20 reviews
For Emma, Forever Ago never turns into a pity party, because Vernon has a light touch, with zero interest in narrative or confessional lyrics.
