To mark the album's 20th anniversary, we’re diving into the highs, the heartbreak, and the melodrama of an album that helped define a generation of eyeliner-wearing outsiders, while asking whether its grand ambitions hold up two decades later. Does The Black Parade deserve a place among the greatest albums of all time?

Album Recommendations:

We're kicking off Gothtoberfest with the seminal goth rock album by the seminal goth rock band. We discuss Robert Smith's apparently healthy relationship with his wife despite his numerous songs about heartbreak as well as the apparent influence "Lullaby" had on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But in the end, we must decide whether this belongs on the list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Album Recommendtions:

• Burials - AFI
• Songs from the Big Chair - Tears for Fears

Hey there, Mr. Jambo! We're celebrating the 40th anniversay or Paul Simon's landmark album, Graceland. With Graceland, Simon heads to South Africa and comes back with one of the most ambitious, and most controversial, albums of the 1980s. We dig into the irresistible hooks, the complicated cultural politics, and whether the whole album was even his to make.

Album Recommendations:

• Pata Pata - Miriam Makeba
• Going Up - The RAH Band
