<\/a><\/p>\nLate Registration \u201d\u201c Kanye West<\/h3>\n
Before Kanye became Yeezus and the fashion powerhouse he is today (or Mr Kim Kardashian, depending on who you ask), he was creating classic hip hop albums. Late Registration<\/em> had big name verses from The Game, Jay Z and Adam Levine. It gave us the timeless Gold Digger<\/em>, the emphatic Touch the Sky<\/em> and the emotional Heard \u201d\u02dcEm Say<\/em>. It had it all and was a perfect offering off the back of his first attempt, The College Dropout<\/em>.<\/p>\n Amy Winehouse redid just about everything for her second album. After Frank<\/em>, she came back with a beehive, a smooth sound, and a whole lot of heartbreak. Rehab<\/em> was one of the biggest songs of 2006 and the album followed suit. The successes of Back to Black<\/em> were unprecedented and it\u2019s hard to forget Amy\u2019s reaction to winning the Grammy for Best Album in 2007. It was the second best-selling album in the UK of the 21st<\/sup> century and by 2013 had shifted more than 12 million copies worldwide.<\/p>\n Radiohead were one of the biggest bands in the 90s, thanks to the success of Creep<\/em> from their debut Pablo Honey<\/em>. But it would be their second effort, The Bends<\/em>, that would solidify their status in the music world. This album has received immense acclaim \u201d\u201c it was deemed the second-best album of all time by Virgin, only losing out to Revolver<\/em> by The Beatles. Q <\/em>readers also thought The Bends<\/em> was the second-best album of all time when polls ran back in 1998 and 2006. Thom Yorke et al won\u2019t be too disappointed by coming second in that poll though \u201d\u201c OK Computer<\/em> came first.<\/p>\n Kendrick Lamar\u2019s second record far surpassed his first, Section.80, with top-drawer producers, big singles and tales of life in Lamar\u2019s home city of Compton. In its first week, the album sold 242,000 copies and debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album gave us classics like Swimming Pools (Drank)<\/em>, Backseat Freestyle<\/em> and Poetic Justice<\/em>. There isn\u2019t a bad track on the album which has helped make Kendrick the household name he is today.<\/p>\n You know the cover art, you know the lead single \u201d\u201c Nevermind<\/em> is very much regarded as the best-ever second album by the masses. Debut album Bleach<\/em> wasn\u2019t a big commercial success, so when Nirvana recorded their second album Nevermind<\/em> (with new drummer, Dave Grohl), the expectation was around the same. Little did they know, it would become a huge success that would leave a legacy long after lead singer Kurt Cobain would pass away. The album largely helped bring Grunge into the mainstream.<\/p>\n Do you need to add these gems to your music collection?
