Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River
95

That John Fogerty knew how to write a hit

Top 3: Green River, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory
100

I was really only familiar with CCR’s biggest hits but I’m a fan now. This album is simply awesome

Top 3: Run Through the Jungle, Up Around the Bend, Who’ll Stop the Rain

The Beatles - Beatles for Sale
80

Even the worst Beatles album is still great

Top 3: No Reply, Eight Days a Week, What You’re Doing

The Beatles - With The Beatles
90

There’s a certain charm to early Beatles that I can’t resist

Top 3: All My Loving, You Really Got a Hold on Me, Not a Second Time

The Beach Boys - Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
80

An album of highs and lows. A few tracks are too reminiscent of the band’s first few albums, but stuff like the run from Girl Don’t Tell Me to Let Him Run Wild are some of the best stuff the band ever did

Top 3: Girl Don’t Tell Me, Help Me Rhonda, Let Him Run Wild

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
100

Sneakily one of the Beatles best crop of tracks

Top 3: A Hard Day’s Night, And I Love Her, You Can’t Do That

The Rolling Stones - Black and Blue
65

Lotta songs on here are just average, and few are worth revisiting imo. The instrumentation is solid at the very least

Top 3: Hand of Fate, Memory Motel, Fool to Cry

The Rolling Stones - Aftermath
90

The Stones expand their sound and make their first true classic… just listen to those marimba songs. I only wish Paint It Black could’ve been on here

Top 3: Mother’s Little Helper, Under My Thumb, Out of Time

The Beatles - Help!
95

Near pop-rock perfection, held back by a handful of clunkers

Top 3: Help!, Ticket to Ride, Yesterday

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
100

Sneakily one of the Beatles’ best. The first batch of songs is very good (Flying and Blue Jay Way are solid), and the second half is transcendent

Top 3: I Am the Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever, All You Need Is Love

The Beatles - Rubber Soul
100

The Beatles go from incredible to unstoppable

Top 3: Drive My Car, Norwegian Wood, In My Life

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
100

Nearing sixty-four and still sick as hell

Top 3: With A Little Help From My Friends, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, A Day In The Life

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
100

Rock perfection. Every song is awesome

Top 3: Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, When the Levee Breaks

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
100

Sonic magic

Top 3: Wouldn’t It Be Nice, God Only Knows, Sloop John B

The Rolling Stones - Some Girls
85

For better or worse, this is the album that defines the Stones for me. From its material, its varied styles, even the fact that some tracks here suck. But damn if they couldn’t make some bangers

Top 3: Miss You, Before They Make Me Run, Beast of Burden

The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St.
100

A album that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Simply magic to experience, even in its weaker moments. Can’t believe Shine A Light wasn’t the closer, though

Top 3: Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia

The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
100

The most consistent the Stones ever got

Top 3: Sway, Wild Horses, Moonlight Mile

The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
95

Fantastic stuff. Even the more filler-y songs have grown on me overtime

Top 3: Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man

The Rolling Stones - Beggars Banquet
80

Half of this album is quite forgettable, but the hitters here HIT

Top 3: Sympathy For The Devil, Jigsaw Puzzle, Street Fighting Man

The Beatles - Abbey Road
100

Undeniable. Will never forget the first time I heard the long one

Top 3: Come Together, I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End
