- David Bowie: “Heroes” Like all the best Bowie tracks, this one is a build. It begins with whispered, cooing, with the narrator imploring his companion to be his queen.
- Amy Winehouse: “Back to Black” Despite a short career that was tragically cut short, English singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse made such a wide-ranging impact and one of her most beloved songs was the title track from her final studio album, 2006’s Back to Black.
- Bob Dylan: “The Times They Are A-Changin” Among Dylan’s protest songs, this one stands out for being unusually dewy-eyed. We often think of young Dylan as a boy with an old soul, but these lyrics aren’t wizened.
- Michael Jackson: “Thriller” Coming off a series of solo hits that included the disco favorites “Off The Wall” and “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough,” as well as the pop “Billie Jean” and the Eddie Van Halen guitar-powered “Beat It,” The King of Pop was seeking to bring it all together and supersede everything he’d previously done.

- David Bowie, "Heroes" (1977) Bowie's Berlin Trilogy, while a watershed period for the artist, can be challenging for listeners used to "Changes" and "Suffragette City."
- Marvin Gaye, "What's Going On" (1971) Marvin Gaye entered the '70s as a newly independent artist, still working under the Motown banner but granted the freedom to craft records under his direction.
- Eagles, "Hotel California" (1976) The epic opening song on the Eagles' No. 1 album about Hollywood decadence and despair sets the tone for the LP with its harrowing imagery ("They stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast") and weary, reggae-lite rhythm.
- Bruce Springsteen, "Born to Run" (1975) Bruce Springsteen's third LP, the one that made him a star, is a conceptual piece about breaking free from hometown traps and dead-end lives.

- Cher - Believe.
- Motorhead - Ace of Spades.
- Against Me! - Transgenger Dysphoria Blues.
- Marvin Gaye – “What’s Going On” Don't Edit. If Marvin Gaye were alive today, he'd probably be heartbroken to learn that the messages on "What's Going On" are even more relevant today than they were when he released his landmark album back in 1971.
- Eagles – “Hotel California” Don't Edit. Few albums create the kind of mythical and, at times, mystifying vibe that "Hotel California" does. And, of course, that begins with the title track.
- David Bowie – “Heroes” Don't Edit. Just like the rest of the Berlin trilogy, "Changes" can be a challenging album. There was a lot of experimentation going on between David Bowie and producers Brian Eno and Tony Visconti.
- Bob Dylan – “The Times They Are a-Changin’” Don't Edit. Other Bob Dylan albums may be more celebrated, but "The Times They Are a-Changin'" was a turning point for the greatest songwriter of all time.
