The three, multiple-song suites that compromise most of Kyuss's Welcome To Sky Valley album.

Led Zeppelin IV. It's hard to top Black Dog, Rock and Roll, and The Battle of Evermore. It's too bad that they had to ruin the album with a weak fourth song to close out side one, Stairway to Heaven.

The 5 best songs on Lost in the Dream by the War on Drugs are the first five

Under the Pressure
Red Eyes
Suffering
An Ocean in Between the Waves
Disappearing

The rest of the album is phenomenal, but the first half is definitely the brightest.
