Fifteen Albums I Always Need In The Car

These are the albums that, when I review them, will come with a warning of hyperbolic language.

These are the albums that have gotten me through rough times, good times, desperate times.

These are the albums that changed my life.

These are the albums that make me love music.

These are the albums that make me love life.

15. Heaven Tonight - Cheap Trick (1978)
14. Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones (1971)
13. Tonight's The Night - Neil Young (1975)
12. Sell Out - The Who (1967)
11. Help! / Rubber Soul / Revolver - The Beatles (1965 / 1965 / 1966)
10. Sleepwalker - The Kinks (1977)
09. The Third Reich & Roll - The Residents (1976)
08. Highway 61 Revisited / Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan (1965 / 1966)
07. Lola Versus Powerman & The Moneygoround, Part One - The Kinks (1970)
06. Rust Never Sleeps - Neil Young (1979)
05. The Beatles - The Beatles (1968)
04. Preservation - The Kinks (1973/1974)
03. Time Fades Away - Neil Young (1973)
02. Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan (1965)
01. Tommy - The Who (1969)

Additionally: I'd like to add that, after some thinking - and the fact that One Size Fits All earned over a 100 - that there should be an elite club of sorts for albums that are so damn good their scores, with the "factors" intact, are over 100. This shall be called the 100 Plus Club. I can already tell you it will include all of the artists on this list...and others.
