Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan · 31 likes

2/5

The more I listen to Bob Dylan, the less I like him. He was very influential, but I do not like him.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations · 5 likes

5/5

I absolutely love this album. It's got a lot of funk to it, and it has a great groove. The instrumental choices were very nice and characteristic of the era, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Revolver

Beatles · 4 likes

2/5

Great use of other instruments for background parts. I was not a big fan of the Beatles before listening to this album, and my opinion has not changed much. I can acknowledge that it is quality music, but I don't particularly enjoy it.

Smash

The Offspring · 3 likes

5/5

"Ahh, it's time to relax." This album is amazing. I first listened to it when I was around 10, and it really got me into a lot of the rock and punk that I love now. If I could rate this album higher than 5, I would.

LP1

FKA twigs · 3 likes

5/5

Very good album. I love her voice and her choice of sounds to accompany it. I enjoyed this very much.

Very good use of instrument effects and ambient sounds.

2/5

Harvest

Neil Young

2/5

Loved the guitar, but the album itself was definitely too slow for me.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

I actually enjoyed this album quite a bit. It helped me understand some of the roots of punk music. Nothing too drastic instrumentally, but everything worked very well together.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

It's nice to have finally heard Bob Dylan, but I'm not a big fan. Worth a listen, but not my style.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

Very nice sound, loved the drums.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Very nice instrumentals, not exactly my speed, but I did appreciate the album.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

It's nice to have some variety, as I'm not the biggest fan of 90's Hip Hop. I didn't dislike the album as much as I expected to. I found a lot of the instrumental choices very interesting, and it made for a good listen.

Odelay

Beck

5/5

Very much enjoyed this.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Instrumentals were very good, but I had no interest in the vocals whatsoever. Though the Spotify-produced radio station that was suggested after this album was very good.

Aja

Steely Dan

5/5

Beautiful instrumentals, I enjoyed this album very much.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

I can't stand Bob Dylan's voice, it turns out, but this album perfectly depicts blues from that era.

Play

Moby

3/5

Not particularly my style, but it was interesting.

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

Not all that interesting, but it was fine.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

5/5

I loved this album. However, it was really disheartening to hear how little progress we've made in the country with the same issues from this album in '90 still being very prevalent today.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

It started out fine, but I definitely got bored less than halfway through the album.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

3/5

This album was fine. It was definitely characteristic of 90's rock.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

I might have appreciated this if it were my first time hearing it, but I burnt myself out on AC/DC years ago.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Definitely not my speed, but I can appreciate it leading to so many other more modern sounds.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

2/5

The more I listen to Bob Dylan, the less I like him. He was very influential, but I do not like him.

Vespertine

Björk

2/5

This was alright. Not particularly my style, but the end of the album was very nice. It was a nice change of pace from my usual playlists.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

I very much enjoyed this album. It kept me groovin' through the workday, and it had a lot of interesting sounds.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Probably my favorite album that's been on the list so far. I love Frank Sinatra, and it really kept me together during a long day.

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

It was interesting. Lots of weird sounds, but pretty alright overall.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

This was too long, to be honest. It was pretty okay, but I did not finish it.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

This album was good, but I lost interest pretty early. There were interesting sounds, but they were fairly repetitive.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

3/5

This was definitely different than most of the albums on this list. Not bad, but not something I would want to listen to often.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

2/5

Not a big fan of this album. It was too weird for me.

LP1

FKA twigs

5/5

Very good album. I love her voice and her choice of sounds to accompany it. I enjoyed this very much.

Elvis Presley

4/5

I really liked this! I've never listened to much Elvis, but I thought this was a really good album, especially for the time it was made.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

2/5

Not a big fan. Very liberal use of feedback, and it was too much. If I heard this when it came out, I may have liked it, but I have heard the same sound done so much better.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

It's not good, but it's better than any of his other albums.

Horses

Patti Smith

1/5

This was pretty awful.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Pretty good. This is definitely early-on in their career, but it was still enjoyable.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

This was great to hear. I love the variety of adding jazz/swing into this list, and I really enjoyed a lot of the stylings on this album.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

This was fine. It was great for background listening during a busy day, but it's not something I'd listen to normally.

The Velvet Underground

2/5

This was okay. I'm glad I listened, but I'm very okay never hearing this album again.

Suede

3/5

This was pretty nice. Better than I was expecting. It was smooth and easy to listen to.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

This was pretty alright. It was kinda funky, so it made for a good listen. It definitely got old by the end of the album, though.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

5/5

I absolutely love this album. It's got a lot of funk to it, and it has a great groove. The instrumental choices were very nice and characteristic of the era, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

I overdid it on Metallica back in middle school, but it was refreshing to listen to a full album again with a different perspective than I had back then. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and it was nice to see a variety in my usual sound.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Very good album. This isn't typically my speed, but I really enjoyed it.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

This is fine for background noise, but it's not something I would seek out, really. It gives me Beatles vibes, but a bit heavier.

Le Tigre

3/5

I really enjoy the instrumentals for this album, but the vocals are too weird for me. It's definitely unique, I'll give it that.

Smash

The Offspring

5/5

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I think this album is a little too slow for my liking. Instrumentals and vocals are great, but I don't think this is the tempo I was looking for today. Sometimes, the songs feel a little empty, like instruments are just missing, but I think that adds to some of the charm of this style.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

This album was a chore to listen to. Bob Marley was influential as hell, and that's awesome, but this felt like listening to the same exact song for about 45 minutes. I'm very glad it's done.

Illmatic

Nas

4/5

This has been pretty good! The album has got a really good flow to it, and I can appreciate it.
