Colour By Numbers
Culture ClubA fine example of 80s pop. I'm not sure what makes it an "unmissable" album, though
The Downward Spiral
Nine Inch NailsSorry, just not my cup of tea. I don't enjoy the screaming and dissonant tones and explicit content.

Felt Mountain
Goldfrappmost of it sounds like it belongs with a Bond movie from the 70s
Cheap Thrills
Big Brother & The Holding Companynot a fan of Janis Joplin's screaming style of singing
Electric Ladyland
Jimi HendrixI know some will scream sacrilege at only 4 stars, and while I enjoy it, it's not my jam
Ace of Spades
Motörheadhadn't heard of "speed metal" before, but it fits; these songs have a very fast tempo
People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
A Tribe Called Questnot my regular jam, but understandable lyrics and interesting, layered music in a laid-back style
Close To The Edge
Yeslong tracks, I get a Snarky Puppy vibe from many of these, not to mention Guardians 2 end credits from "Any You and I"
Duck Rock
Malcolm McLarenintro dialog is annoying but the music is great; interesting variety
69 Love Songs
The Magnetic Fields2 hr 45 min! Only listened to disc 1, but the lyrics are charming
Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominosyes, THAT Layla; songs are heavy on instrumentals
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
OutKast2nd disc is a whole different experience and pulls the album up from a 2; pretty raunchy lyrics throughout, though
Fear Of A Black Planet
Public EnemyI'm sure it was a touchstone for the genre and culturally relevant but it just isn't my jam
Surf's Up
The Beach Boysnot your "classic" Beach Boys album, a lot more politically aware and less "young and fun"
GREY Area
Little Simzwouldn't listen to again due to the explicit lyrics, but musically interesting
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing PumpkinsInteresting mix of mellow and screaming tracks. Rates a 4 because of the breadth of musicality across the double album
A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector
Various ArtistsChock full of holiday hits you hear on the radio
Beyond Skin
Nitin Sawhneyreally interesting blend of world and trance beats; The Conference has some crazy-impressive tongue work
Underwater Moonlight
The Soft Boyssnappy, uptempo beats; first two tracks are fun, rest are more punk
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Bruce SpringsteenWow, "Racing in the Street" is something else. How have I not heard this song before?
At Mister Kelly's
Sarah VaughanWhat a lovely voice! I thoroughly enjoyed the "live" aspect of this, especially when she forgets the lyrics and just rolls with it.
American IV: The Man Comes Around
Johnny CashFolk/country really isn't my jam and Cash's voice usually bothers me but this album blew me away. What great storytelling and compelling musicality across all the tracks! It may be full of covers, but each is excellent; familiar yet perfectly matched to Cash's style.
Kollaps
Einstürzende NeubautenI just don't vibe with the atonality and bizarre aspects of experimental music
