50. James Brown Live At the Apollo

I can't believe this thread is coming along so slowly compared to the songs thread. That thread is 25 picks ahead.

Basically, I'm bumping this thread so more people will contribute. I'm more interested in what albums people consider essential than songs.

51) The Prodigy - Fat Of The Land

52. Esthero - Breath From Another

53) Björk - Post

Since I just posted "Hyperballad" in the songs thread.. the whole album is great.

54. U2- Achtung Baby... this is definitely the best U2 album. also one of the best albums I've ever heard in my life so far, imo.

55. Eurythmics- Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
