Love me some dusty. A great blue-eyed soul album. Close your eyes and listen to son of a preacher man.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

2/5

Apparently there was a bass track on this album that they turned down. I wish it was there. I'm not a big metal fan but it did sound a bit hollow.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

If peeing your pants is cool, call me Miles Davis. Great album, great vibe, a Sunday in a chair sipping on a drink with a jazz cigarette

Peter Frampton

A good live album that captures the time and the talent of Frampton

The Pretty Things

3/5

Interesting rock opera that apparently beat Tommy to the punch. Deserves a more extended listen on my part.

a-ha

A pretty classic euro new wave album. There is better new wave out there IMO, but worth a listen.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

4/5

I get the artistry but you have to be in the mood to listen and appreciate.

Repeater

Fugazi

4/5

A Yes Album with some good tunes.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

3/5

Not bad. Folksy.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

A great album, but a bit long for me. I'm not the biggest fan of Corgan's voice, but the mix of genres and styles is interesting. In my reading about the album, apparently he Corgan runs some wrestling company. Fun fact I guess.

Follow The Leader

Korn

2/5

Takes me back to my early teen years. Freak on a Leash was great back then but listening to the lyrics of the album as an adult... A bit out there "Tie my pecker to a tree..." I appreciate the trailblazing of a new genre, but I think I've outgrown KoRn

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

4/5

It's some good house, need to remember to throw it on for some parties, but I'm not much of a house head.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

I love me some new wave/synth-pop. A great album and I need to remember to listen to more Pet Shop Boyz

4/5

Some upbeat rock, a pretty fun listen.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

3/5

It's different, nice, interesting, nice New Orleans Psyc rock?

5/5

Great album. Love every track.

5/5

Have this on Vinyl. Love it!

4/5

Folksy, with depth. Really enjoyed the entire thing.

Love

3/5

A lot of plaudits for the album but it sounds like a lot of things from that time. Maybe I didn't listen closely enough to appreciate but it was a bit forgettable for me.

The Slider

T. Rex

4/5

I think I like T.Rex after their second listen from albums on this list/generator. Good glam rock, upbeat and fun.

All Directions

The Temptations

5/5

Love the temptations and a few of my favourites are on this album.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

A great funk album and it reflects the times.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

I like the flaming lips but haven't taken a dive into their discography. This is a good album and I would listen again as it is what I think of when I think of the flaming lips.

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

A pretty fun pop album, it really grew on me after a second listen.

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

A good album and an iconic sound.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

4/5

Liked!

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Dreamy, but not something I would put in my rotation.

Kala

M.I.A.

3/5

From reading about the album and from my love of one of the singles, I thought I would enjoy this more than I did. Maybe I overhyped it in my mind? It was good, but didn't knock my socks off.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

5/5

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)

Motörhead

3/5

A good rock and roll album, but not one that will make it into my rotation.

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

2/5

It's alright. I guess I learned about what "chamber pop" is and I guess it's just not something I really listen to. It was okay.

The Modern Lovers

4/5

Feels punk rock, but doesn't thrash, I really enjoyed this one.

Bringing It All Back Home

5/5

The Velvet Underground

5/5

Great album, deserving of the hype.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Great album, always have time for Pink Floyd.

Be

Common

5/5

Great album, and worth multiple listens. The beats are great and Common is out in full force on this one.

Garbage

3/5

90s Grunge, not bad, has a time and place, but a lot sounded the same. Stupid Girl is a great song and the single off of the album and I like the overall theme, but not a musical grand masterpiece.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

American Girl is a great song but the rest of the album didn't knock my socks off on the first listen through.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Funky rock. Love RHCP and this is a classic! Some real highlights on this one and after reading Scar Tissue and understanding the issues behind the scenes, it's amazing that they made it and continued to make music.

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

3/5

A bit out there, early electronica I guess? A couple songs were region blocked on spotify :( but it's experimental overall and a bit out there. Maybe worth listening to again in a different state of mind.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

5/5

Love the vibes of this one. Something that will definitely make my rotation since I'm always looking for good world music to vibe to.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

Not my style. More storytelling through song and almost seemed a bit like a parody. Made me think of a serious TROGDORRRR or Flight of the Conchords. I'm sure there are deeper messages, just not my style, though it grew on me as it played.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Ozzy and Sabbath, a great rocking pair. A good album.

Cross

Justice

5/5

Great electronic album. I knew the single but didn't know the artist or expect the album to be so good.

Van Halen

4/5

Didn't realize this was a debut album. Iconic 80s rock album.

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

3/5

Pretty good but country isn't my jam. Pretty chill and she has a great voice.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

3/5

A bit slow for me. It is sad, and melancholic. Really need to be in that headspace to appreciate it I think.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

5/5

Loved this album. Funky world music.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

2/5

Nota a bad punk album but I think there are better ones that could be included here.

Ute Lemper

2/5

Chansons, chansons! Felt a bit like a musical. Not bad, but not my jam.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

5/5

Love that this was recorded live and hat hte musicians just put thier stamp on some Bo Diddley tunes. Great psych rock record to listen to.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

5/5

Great lives blues album. Interesting backstory behind how this one eventually ended up happening. Need to listn to more blues after this one. John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf are next on my list.

4/5

Never really listened to this genre or heard of this band. The album has a good amount of variety in sounds, and I would listen to it again.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

3/5

A bit of traditional influence on I am stretched to your grave, which I appreciated. I don't think I've ever listened to Sinead before. Overall a few slow and dreamy songs and then some upbeat 90s alt/pop? if you're into that. A bit slow at the end.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Great album. Not much to say other than glam rock/bowie essential listening.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

4/5

Great Blur album!

Vento De Maio

4/5

A good world album. Fun jazzy samba. Some slower tracks, but mostly a fun listen.

The United States Of America

3/5

Psych rock needs to be really good for me to enjoy it. It wasn't bad, but great for the tech limitations.

Wild Gift

X

3/5

Can't tell why this one is here. Sounds like most rock albums and didn't blow me away. It's good punk, but I wouldn't say I needed to hear it before I died.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

5/5

Great electronic and loungy album

Buena Vista Social Club

5/5

Great world afro-cuban album.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

A wonderful soul album.

Apparently the first metal album? I liked it, though its not quite my jam.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Supergrass

5/5

Surprised by this one, a band I slept on but a great album!

Rapture

Anita Baker

2/5

Groovy, bluesy, but doesn't stand out for me. A bit adult contemporary and bland, but good for an 80s background groove.

Queen II

Queen

2/5

Not sure I have heard any of these Queen songs before. Its more prog rock than I was expecting and personally it didn't resonante with me.

Slipknot

1/5

Just don't like it or metal this heavy.

Devil Without A Cause

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Nothing special for me.
