I left out the fifth one cause I had never heard of it either.
Abbey Road: As the years pass this one moves up my list as being my favorite Beatles album. Really as I think about the history behind it and the sound, it is really George Martin's album. The production is amazing, direction perfect and i believe he was the driving force for them to get back and do a proper album to end this thing. That final medley is a metaphor for the Beatles, it is much more than the sum of its parts. On their own they are very weak songs, but I always have to listen to the whole thing through and it becomes so much more.
Abraxas: I am pretty sure this was highlighted in our progressive rock class. I still have my notebook but i didnt dig it out for this. I agree with what Big Red said although I love the combo of Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen. You have to have them both together.
Ace of Spades: I don';t have this entire album. I need to get it though cause there is so much more to Motorhead then the title track. In fact from what I remember about his interviews, Lemmy hates that song cause it is all anyone wanted to hear them play.
Uchtung Baby: I dunno I just don't care that much about U2. Sure I'll listen to a few of their songs but IMO Bono is an ass and they are all a little too arogant. I expect that from the brits but not an irish band. Plus the lyric "Get on your knees boy" always makes me giggle and think of mean things to say about the writer.

I was sure you had the the "Ace of Spades." Must have been someone else or my imagination.
