- Little Richard – 17 Grooviest Original Hits. This is it, the essential sound that made most of the greatest rock albums possible. The deeper tracks here, like “Boo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo” and “Send Me Some Lovin’”, bear out the gospel and blues roots that Little Richard channeled into rock’n’roll.
- Chuck Berry – The Great Twenty-Eight. Chuck Berry was such a master of the rock 45 that his definitive statement has to be this greatest hits album. There’s no filler or deep cuts in sight: Every track is a touchstone, from the debut single “Maybelline” to the Merseybeat nod on “I Wanna Be Your Driver.”
- The Beatles – The Beatles (The White Album) Revolver stands as one of the best rock albums ever. And Sgt. Pepper inspired a million bands to get psychedelic.
- Nirvana – Nevermind. Nevermind wound up having a far greater cultural impact than its creators intended or even wanted. But at the end of the day, songs like lead single “Smells Like Teen Spirit” really were strong enough to make this one of the greatest albums of all time.
- Arcade Fire, ‘Funeral’ Loss, love, forced coming-of-age, and fragile generational hope: Arcade Fire’s debut touched on all these themes as it defined the independent rock of the ‘00s.
- Rufus, Chaka Khan, ‘Ask Rufus’ Fronted by Chaka Khan, one of soul music’s most combustible singers, Rufus built its mid-Seventies sound on heavy-footed, guitar-slathered funk.
- Suicide, ‘Suicide’ These New York synth-punks evoke everything from the Velvet Underground to rockabilly. Martin Rev’s low-budget electronics are violent and hypnotic; Alan Vega screams as a rhythmic device.
- Various Artists, ‘The Indestructible Beat of Soweto’ The greatest album ever to be marketed under the heading “world music,” this 1985 compilation of South African pop was a huge influence on Paul Simon’s Graceland that still sounds jarringly fresh today.

- Pink Floyd: The Dark Side Of The Moon. £7.86. Buy now from Amazon. Year: 1973. After the initial Syd Barrett-inspired success of their debut album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, it took a while for Pink Floyd Mk II to find their feet.
- Led Zeppelin: IV. £9.98. Buy now from Amazon. Year: 1971. Arguably Led Zeppelin's finest moment, this was the record with the perfect blend of what made them one of the greatest bands of all time.
- The Beatles: Abbey Road. £6.99. Buy now from Amazon. Year: 1969. The last music recorded by the band with Sir George Martin, Abbey Road was created in a far-from-ideal environment for the Fab Four.
- Led Zeppelin: II. £15.76. Buy now from Amazon. Year: 1969. It’s very hard to pick a second Led Zep album for this list, to stand alongside IV, but II just about gets our vote.
