Raising Hell
Run-D.M.C.The album that brought rap to the mainstream and it sounds like it. Rapping over rock guitars on the title track, and King of Rock from previous album, is still awesome, and better than the more famous Walk this Way. Some of the boasting gets repetitive, and some songs lean a bit heavy on the misogyny.

Daydream Nation
Sonic YouthReally enjoyable. Clear influence on all alternative music since.

No Other
Gene ClarkSilver Raven really good and haunting. Lady of the North has really interesting function sections in otherwise standard country rock ballad. No Other is just good 70s rock. Strong, thoughtful lyrics throughout.

Sound Affects
The JamMix of punk, new wave , and 60s rock. Driving baselines.

Vespertine
BjörkMuch less “weird” than I previously thought. Reminiscent of Massive Attack and lo-fi. For the first time I feel like I “get” and like Bjork.

Tarkus
Emerson, Lake & PalmerMostly solid prog rock. Extensive use of piano/organ is interesting. Title track (really suite of 7 songs) is very good and similar to Dark Side. “The only way (hymn)” is weird.
