Elvis Costello & The Attractions · 8 likes

5/5

Costello is indie rock before it was called that way. Can't believe how recent this album feels. It could come out straight from Weezer

5/5

I can't express enough how this album is awesome, a genre-changing moment when it was released. Although today i'm not a big fan of GnR and even listening to this album bores me to hell, I can't ignore the genius behind it. I don't know if any other band can rival a first album like this.

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

Two recognizable songs and some of the rest have very good tunes, but the lyrics are hard to swallow if you are not connected to the BDSM scene and sound like they came off the mouth of a creep.

Young Americans

David Bowie

5/5

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

Great punk album

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

Music From Big Pink

The Band

4/5

Too fuckin good. Blues and rock in a fiery combination of awesome musicians.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

4/5

Awesome album. It's an aquired taste. I have listened to it multiple times, just to hear the song 'Autobahn' once again, but I kept listening to the whole album.

Gold

Ryan Adams

3/5

It's a rock album, nothing that blew my mind, but it's ok

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

4/5

I really liked this. I think I'll checkout more about Todd Rundgren

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Really cool music, but it wasn't my style

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

5/5

Simply Fantastic!

Oracular Spectacular

One of the best albums of our time. I always come back to it.

Hotel California

3/5

You know, I was a little dissapointed.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Awesome album

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

This didn't appeal to me, as a genre. Some lyrics are quite nice tho

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

I don't like Simple Minds. It's a band that once was great and then... it's just not even ok. I see this album as the begining of their decadence.

The Stone Roses

4/5

It grew on my. I had to listen to it many times, and every time it was better than before

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

I know this is a classic, but the music genre does not appeal to me at all. Nice lyrics tho, and I definitively felt the personal and internal conflict of its authors being poured into the songs.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

I don't like this.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

I liked it. It's not something I'll listen everyday or when transmutting, but it's cool and full of classics for the modern music landscape.

Bad Company

2/5

I played it many times. I didn't like it. Not one song I could remember. It's not a bad record tho

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

4/5

Cool

Modern Kosmology

Cool, but not anything I haven't hear before

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

What the beatles could have become. Fantastic album

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

Quintessential heavy metal album. A must.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

Neat album. I understand why you have to hear it before you die.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Zappa at its most digestible

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

2/5

I really didn't like this much. I guess it wass cool to the teenage angst in the 90s

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

4/5

Messy, chaotic, weirdly mastered, and I loved it. I like this kind of fail music.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Great album, not the best of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, but a great album

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Nice record. I don't vibe that hard with it, but you can't deny it has some awesome songs

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

Awesome album. Heard it multiple timen and can't get enough.

John Prine

3/5

I'm not fan of the genre, but I certainly listened to this a lot while working

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

This is my favourite Elvis album

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Heard it multiple times. I can't say any particular song struck with me

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

4/5

Awesome album. Introduced me to Common

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

I can't say I liked the whole album. But isn't that final song (you know which) a juicy strawberry at the top of a cake?

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Nice Hallellujah version

Fun House

The Stooges

5/5

I have loved this album for a very long time and never get tired of it. It's a must if you are into punk

The Last Broadcast

Doves

2/5

Didn't liked this in my first listening, neither in the 12th. If you are into this kind of music, I recommend Soda Stereo. They do it better

Suede

3/5

Bowie voice in the 70s is present here. Kinda like it, but old, even in the time it was released.

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Love this

Closer

Joy Division

5/5

Really cool sound. I think Joy Division still has a sound that no other band could come close. Not accesible at all, but that somehow makes it special.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

5/5

This is awesome. Didn't know about the existence of this band and ended up hearing this album and others multiple times.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

I really liked this album. Maybe it is known by the one hit wonder 'Come on Eileen' but the whole album is awesome and tematically in sync with that song

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Glad I got to hear this band that I didn't knew existed. They reminded me of blur, so it was cool.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

This album came from a guy who killed himself 2 years after recording it. You are listening to a guy who looked around and despised capitalism and comercialisation, so maybe this album wasn't intended to be heard. And if you did, that's awesome, and an incredible line of events that led you to this moment, listening to a record some guy made 60 years ago in two nights just for himself.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

Awesome record. Of course I heard Shout and Everybody wants to rule the world before, but never the whole album, and it's awesome and consistent.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

A nice blend of sounds, and though it's more than 15 years since its release, it feels relevant this days. I've heard some of the songs on those youtube videos to study and chill.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

1/5

Tom Waits has a shitty voice. The whole album is monotonous from beginning to end and not any memorable song. Not my deal, sorry.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

2/5

mmmm nop. Nothing particularly interesting here.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Fantastic album

LP1

FKA twigs

2/5

Didn't like anything here. Could have died without listening.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Simply fantastic

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Absolute Masterpiece

Microshift

Hookworms

2/5

This is kinda generic indie rock. And we can't say they were pioneers because this album came in 2018. The sound felt old, something we have heard before.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

4/5

Great album! Like if Joy Division made more poppy songs.

Close To The Edge

Yes

5/5

Masterpiece

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

5/5

Costello is indie rock before it was called that way. Can't believe how recent this album feels. It could come out straight from Weezer
