10. Just a few off the top of my head

Jan 2021

Beatles : Sergeant Pepper and The White Album
Styx: Paradise Theatre
Billy Joel: Nylon Curtain
Meatloaf: Bat out of Hell
Floyd: The Final Cut
Springsteen: Born to Run

Rumours may have sold like hotcakes, but there were a lot of albums (remember when there were albums and concept albums) that were better.

I would also put up some awesome soundtracks like Pretty in Pink as better than rumours
