    157 The Damned - Machine Gun Etiquette (1979)

    The Damned were at the forefront of British punk - a party band providing dark comedic relief to a scene often fueled by inner rage. But two years in and they were done - burned out and looking to do something else. So The Damned broke up - for like a minute. With names like 'Rat Scabies' and 'Captain Sensible' what else could they do but rock and roll? Nothing. The re-energized band reformed in 1979, dropped Machine Gun Etiquette and never stopped knockin' socks off. Absolute classic.

    156 Fleet Foxes - Shore (2020)

    It took a traumatic event for young Robin Pecknold to realize he possessed the gift of the Mangina Majestica. Only a few years later he turned that haunting memory into an unforgettable mangina band. Shore is Fleet Foxes at their catchiest and most tightly-tucked.

    155 Stevie Nicks - The Wild Heart (1983)

    The Mac Attack's Mirage Tour concluded in October 1982 and the cranky gentle-rockers were clearly ready for a hiatus. While grandma-haired Lindsey Buckingham and the rest of the Mac sulked, Stevie Nicks made new friends and cranked out The Wild Heart - the energetic follow-up to Bella Donna. Stevie Nicks at her peak here - right before she quit coke and started wearing the Mrs. Doubtfire outfits.

    154 Iggy Pop - The Idiot (1977)

    By the time the Isolar Tour ended in May 1976 David Bowie was sick of his family and friends (yuck) hassling him to stop snorting his beloved Raoul. Get out of my face. His plan was simple: tell everyone he was gonna clean out in Germany to throw them off his trail and then escape to Paris - where he can continue to snort drizzugs, bang black women, wear Nazi World War II regalia and just be David Bowie in peace. He would need some assistance in completing his mission though - so the first move was to call The Idiot.

    153 The Who - Live At Leeds (1970 Live)

    The Who at their beautifully shambolic live peak. Pete Townshend had one goal as the new decade began - release a live Who album capturing all those new Tommy songs in their superior raw form. Well Pete threw a temper tantrum when he discovered that everything recorded from the previous year was unusable. After his fit, composure was found - and The Who booked two shows in February for the sole purpose of getting a live LP out of them. The magnificent Live At Leeds was the result - and there is not one Tommy song in the original track list. Go figure.

    152 Pega Monstro - Alfarroba (2015)

    Pega Monstro are Portuguese sisters Júlia and Maria Reis - and that's it. Unless you count Rodrigo Rodizio as an actual member. The Reis girls quickly became leaders of the Lisbon rock scene fifteen years ago - especially after founding Cafetra Records and providing an outlet for their friends' groups to release music. But friends don't matter when a masterpiece needs to be made - and in 2015 Pega Monstro left Portugal for London to unleash the Alfarroba. And we thank them for that.

    151 Steve Kekana - Nomsa Ntombi Yami (1979)

    The Bushman of Limpopo was an awesome Pop Africanus singer who cranked out over forty records during his lifetime. This while also earning three college degrees and a career in labour law that rivals his success in the music game. With Modjadji the Rain Queen helping assist his destiny Steve Kekana overcame blindness, nasty Belgian monks and other assorted obstacles to live a life of black radiance. Nomsa Ntombi Yami was the Kekana's second album - classic Mbaqanga - released a few years before South African music blew up on a global scale.

    150 Garland Jeffreys - Ghost Writer (1977)

    An overlooked chestnut from 1970s New York City fixture Garland Jeffreys. Good guy and relentless overachiever facing challenges like - having a fanbase more famous than him and - the constant bullying from his best friend's older brother Roy. A solid neck-to-nut worth the time.
