A truly unbelievable piece of work. Never has any other album left me with such an incredible feeling of hope, desperation, beauty and, above all, the sense that I had just heard something remarkable.

The album that showed just what Morrissey and Marr could do, a brilliant lyrical and musical work that could have you laughing and crying within the first 15 minutes.

Forever Changes is a timeless classic, a masterpiece by any standard, and grossly overlooked for other inferior 60s albums.

Listen to any modern indie/rock album and you will hear traces of this album. It's incredible to think that it was released 2 years before I was born, it hasn't aged in the slightest.

My favourite album of the punk/post-punk era, and also one of the greatest guitar albums ever made. Oh, and the title track is extraordinary.

15 years ago, at the tender age of 3, my dad bought me my first album ever - Pet Sounds. And I can never thank him enough.

An incredibly brave album following the success of OK Computer, Kid A pushed the boundaries of modern music - and with wonderful results.

I could not go through this list without The Beatles, and I think that this is their greatest moment (much more than the vastly overrated Sgt Pepper, and just above Abbey Road)

Although Trout Mask Replica is probably greater in terms of innovation and influence, I admire it more than enjoy it. Safe As Milk is just quality.

Horrifically overlooked at the time, The Kinks' opus has finally garnered the attention it deserves. Better than 90% of The Beatles' albums.

Who knew out of tune guitars could sound so good?

If Radiohead didn't exist, this would probably be the best album of the last 15 years. An incredible tale of a man's despair with his gender, led by one of the most beautifully strange voices ever.

Roxy Music's debut is their finest, before the loss of Eno and the descent into 'cheesiness'. Bar some of 'For Your Pleasure', it was downhill from here.
