3. Harry Styles by Harry Styles
It can’t be easy trying your hand at a solo album after spending time in one of the biggest boy bands ever. The former One Direction member solidified himself as a megastar with a debut that is mature well beyond his age. Styles was clearly influenced by icons such as David Bowie and Freddie Mercury. He’s set the bar very high for himself going forward.

Murphy’s trademark wit and self-aware lyrics are on full display and the album proves the party for this band isn’t ready to end quite yet.
