Thank you sirs!

37. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless (1991)

This is a beautiful album. Loveless is definitely a contender for the best of the 1990s, and it's not hard to see why. I'm not sure that I find it as awe-inspiring as others do, but it's a must-listen nonetheless.

38. Neu! - Neu! (1972)

This still has a lasting impact on music. Neu!'s debut was far beyond its time, and if the first track "Hallogallo" doesn't mesmerize you I don't know what to say.

39. New York Dolls - New York Dolls (1973)

This might be one of the most influential albums of all time. I think Morrissey claims that seeing the New York Dolls on the Old Grey Whistle Test had the biggest influence on his music of anything, and I believe it. This laid the groundwork for the style that punks would later adopt.

40. Nico - The Marble Index (1968)

Probably the most experimental of any of the VU's members' solo records (other than Desertshore or Metal Machine Music, I guess). This isn't an easy record - it's dark, haunting, droning. At the same time, though, it has sort of a gloomy beauty to it that can take a while to sink in, but when it does it's fantastic.
