What’s the greatest album of all time—and why does it feel like the answer changes depending on who’s holding the aux cord?In this music-fueled, laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, with Ben Rogers still out on vacation, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive deep into a newly compiled list of the top-rated albums of all time—sourced from seven major music outlets and mashed together into one glorious, chaotic ranking.🎶 Key Highlights:

The Big Reveal: Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here takes the #1 spot, beating out Dark Side of the Moon—and sparking a passionate debate among the crew.
Beatles Breakdown: Abbey Road lands at #2, with Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s close behind. But which one is the real GOAT?
Surprise Entries: Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly at #3? MF DOOM’s Madvillainy in the top 25? The crew is both shocked and impressed.
Jazz Love: Skin makes a strong case for Kind of Blue by Miles Davis as the greatest album ever: “It’s flawless.”
Funniest Moment: “The rise and fall of the spider monkeys” — a totally butchered attempt at naming Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album that had everyone in stitches.
Hot Takes & Deep Cuts: From Talking Heads to Tribe Called Quest, from Bowie to Nas, the crew shares their personal favorites, guilty pleasures, and the albums that shaped their lives.
