Music is almost like magic, and many artists changed the world with theirs. This is why some legendary albums changed music and are still relevant nowadays. But, of course, some of them were epic because the lyrics challenged the world at the moment or the ideologies that many people had at the time. But, no matter if they are epic just for the music or any other reason, here we share with you some of the best albums in the world.
Table of Contents
1 by The Beatles
Every single album that The Beatles did was good and has at least one song that it’s still relevant today. However, 1 was almost a before and after in their career because it has some of their biggest hits. So don’t miss this classic jewel of music and give them a try.
Purple Rain by Prince & The Revolution
If Prince were alive today, he would be huge, probably even bigger than he was before. He was wild, sexual and unapologetic, an inspiration for singers like Madonna or Cindy Lauper. Purple Rain was made at the top of his career, and it has some of his best songs ever. We particularly recommend you to listen to The Beautiful Ones or Purple Rain, the song.
…Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
The pop wouldn’t be what it is without Britney and what she did in the 2000s. “…Baby One More Time” it’s her first studio album, and it was wild. It broke records, and she jumped to stardom in almost seconds when the album was out. You probably already know a lot of her songs, but we recommend you listen to her if not.
21 by Adele
As one of the biggest female singers and songwriters, we can’t begin to tell you why you should listen to her. She has one of the most powerful voices of this era, and the way she tackles sadness on her songs is something else. 21 is her debut album, and some of her best songs are in there.
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Not so long ago, Dreams, a song of this album went viral thanks to a skateboarder drinking cranberry juice on TikTok. Thanks to this, we believe that you have listened at least to that song, one of the best of the album. That’s why you should listen to the whole album and also because Stevie Nicks was an icon of an era of music and, well, dreams.
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Again, the pop wouldn’t be the same if Michael Jackson had not made his music and shared it. Thriller is one of his earliest albums and one of the best, thanks to the way he developed his style. Every song is good, and despite the controversies, he might have faced when he was alive, he was a great artist.
The Wall by Pink Floyd
We can’t talk about counter-culture music without talking about the wall. This album was so big it even has a movie about how we are puppets to a system we should overpower and get free. Even though the wall is one of the band’s more memorable songs, there are way too many jewels you must listen to in the album.
Greatest Hits by Elton John
After the huge success of the movie Rocket Man, we are sure, again, that you at least have listened to one of his songs without knowing. He recently made a collab with Dua Lipa, too, so it’s a good time to go through his best songs of all time and get why he is almost a legend in the music industry.
The Bodyguard by Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston had one of the greatest voices of all time, and it was shut way too soon. She was a legend in the R&B genre and with very good reasons because her music and the way she sings was a whole experience. The Bodyguard has some of her best songs, so you won’t miss a thing.
The Immaculate Collection by Madonna
Madonna is still an icon today; this is how big she is. She changed the way we thought about pop, about women, and she made herself a legend through her music and the ideal she put in every song. The Immaculate Collection is a compilation of her greatest hits, remastered. You must listen to this album and get why “bitch I’m Madonna” is a statement.
