With JDax's rock thread I thought this might be interesting (and a way to build my playlist). Best non-rock album of all time start to finish?


I'd start with:

Michael Jackson - Thriller
Bob Marley - Exodus
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP

What say you?
 
Bud the spud. Stompin Tom Connors.
 
2pac all eyez on me disc 2. Disc 1 is great, but disc 2 is a classic.

Underworld, everything everything.
 
Probably not one many will understand, but it'd be really, really hard to argue:

YESSS! Me against the world album wasn't too shabby either
 
No Fences by Garth Brooks was not too shabby.
 
Not a big Country music fan, but loved Alabama growing up. Feels So Right was phenomenal.

My all-time favorite piece of music. While not my favorite violinist (nothing against Zukerman, a fantastic player), certainly my favorite recording of this piece.

I am going to throw out there these rap gems:

Quality Control - Jurassic 5
Things Fall Apart - The Roots
Low End Theory - Tribe Called Quest
Run The Jewels 2&3 - Run the Jewels
Black on Both Sides - Mos Def
Black Star - Black Star
Blazing Arrow - Blackalicious
 
if this is considered an album, i would go with simon & garfunkel live in central park.
