Eliminator, released March 23, 1983, is the moment ZZ Top stopped being America’s best-kept bar-band secret and became planetary overlords of hairy, high-tech blues-rock.

Five Grammys. 27 million copies. Norah Jones' debut changed what adult contemporary could sound like. Why Come Away With Me still holds up. #292.

Sitars, Mellotrons, and wizard costumes. The strangest album the Rolling Stones ever made — and why it deserves another listen. #293 on the Top 300.
