I rarely ever love albums that go beyond 75 minutes or so in length, but this is one of the exceptions. I don’t think I can really blame Stevie Wonder for making such a long project when he was sitting on top of so many amazing songs. This album is truly spectacular and always makes me want to get up and move when I hear it. I do think it starts off a bit slow, but once it hits its groove, it’s a bullet train.

Favorite Track: Black Man

At the point when this album was made, Bob Dylan was seen by many as washed and well past his prime. After having, at best, a mediocre decade in the 70s up to this point, Bob did the unthinkable and dropped what might be his best album. Blood on the Tracks is, in my opinion, is Bob perfecting his folk sound. This is not just one of the greatest breakup albums, but one of the greatest albums, period.

Favorite Track: Shelter From the Storm

Under the circumstances in which Rumours was created, it really should have turned out to be a bad album. Instead, what was created is what I would argue to be one of the greatest albums ever made. It really does feel like such a diverse record, with three different songwriters and several different genres. There are several all time great tracks on this record, and I honestly never get bored of it.

Favorite Song: Dreams

No album will ever have the impact that Thriller has had. This album really does feel like a greatest hits record, but I mean that in only the best way possible. On top of how great the music is, the music videos that accompany this album really do cement it in my mind as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) albums ever made.

Favorite Track: Billie Jean
