Jeff Buckley

2/5

I really did not love the style or the music. It was sort of whiny and lame in my opinion.

8 likes

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

I thought this was a cool album for sure! I liked the vibes and felt that it was quite silly but in a fun way. I really appreciate how it wasn't as serious as a lot of the other albums from this decade that we've gotten (looking at you Bee Gees)

Debut

Björk

2/5

I just couldn't get behind this to be honest, and I really wanted to like it. It was just too much noise, not enough music.

Virgin Suicides

Air

1/5

This was not a good album. I feel like even if it's so perfect for the movie, that does not make it a good album on its own (as you said Kix). Lame!

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Music was pretty good, but the lyrics killed me. If I could give half stars, I'd rate it 2.5 because I felt it was overwhelmingly average

Black Sabbath

5/5

my favorite songs were the wizard and NIB (but that one is like together with two other songs). i thought the guitar solos were super cool, the lyrics were wild, and i could really see how this changed the course of metal music.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Favorite tracks: 1. Starman (obvi) 2. Lady Stardust 3. Ziggy Stardust (obvi) 4. Rock'n'Roll Suicide Bowie is a fuckin' legend. Great album.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

This album is amazing! My most favorite track is Rudy (it's so 70s) and I hella love the temp changes. I also really like If Everyone Was Listening and Dreamer. Sick sounds, would listen again.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

2/5

What on earth is this album supposed to be

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

I thought it was p good :)

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

I liked it for sure, but i don't know if it's one of the best albums of all time. It wasn't as memorable as others to me.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Way better than I anticipated, and his vocal range really impressed me. My favorite tracks were Suspicious Minds (that's my fav Elvis song tho), Gentle on my Mind, In the Ghetto, and I'll Hold you in my Heart

The Joshua Tree

2/5

somehow it was worse than Springsteen

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

I liked it a lot -- it was quite strange, but I thought that there were some sick instrumental parts, and he has a really nice voice. I liked Without You, Jump into the Fire, and The Moonbeam Song, but the Coconut song is also a straight up classic.

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

3/5

it was pretty good, but i am not the biggest fan of this style of reggae. I liked Your Love Gets Sweeter and Sunday Shining the best.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

A classic. I love The Rockafeller Skank, Gangster Trippin, and Soul Surfing. I wouldn't just listen to the album probably, but it's great party music.

New Wave

The Auteurs

1/5

I could have gone my whole life and not heard this album. It was straight garbage.

Fractured Life

Air Traffic

3/5

It was fine, nothing life-altering for me. I liked the song Charlotte, but I felt like it was just an okay album.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

Sick beats, sick lyrics. I loved this album and I thought that the commentary was scathing and also still poignant. My favorite tracks were 911 Is a Joke, Fight the Power, and Power to the People, but I liked all the songs (instrumentals included).

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

It was p good. I liked War Pigs (obvi) and The Real Thing the most

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

2/5

idk about this. I liked Sunflower and Wild Wood, but overall it was too country-folksy ish

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

Low-key it was p good. I actually liked the sound of it, and the lyrics made it better for me than modern country. I liked I'm a Lonesome Fugitive, Life in Prison, and If You Want to be my Woman

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

1/5

The lyrics were trash, the piano was trash, and his voice was trash. Hated it.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

It was pretty good, but I got kinda tired of those stupid background vocals by the end (like that tiny voice repeating everything he was singing)

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

I thought this album was full of bops! The obvious hit is Alright, but I loved the first track maybe even more than that one!

Paul Simon

2/5

Idk about this, like it was fine but also completely forgettable.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time. My favorite track has been and always will be Momma, followed closely by King Kunta and Alright.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

This album was a straight classic man, I fuckin loved it.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

It was pretty good, I liked the dream-pop sort of style it had going on for sure.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

it was a sort of fine from me.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

4/5

This is a solid album! The music is great, the concepts are wild -- it's all around a good/interesting listen.

Protection

Massive Attack

2/5

This was really not my style, I thought it was too repetitive.

Faith

George Michael

3/5

It was pretty good -- the music was very catchy and he has a great voice, but there was just something really weird about the lyrics to me.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

It was a solid album, but I feel like as his 15th studio album, it wasn't as innovative as some of his older stuff. I also found the song "I Met a Little Girl" problematic.

1977

Ash

2/5

this was not for me

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

It was actually quite good i thought, I really liked the first couple of songs!

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Ehh it was pretty good, but I stand by my opinion that they were one-hit wonders with Come on Eileen.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

It was a good album! I really liked the music, and the overall vibe.

The xx

4/5

great album, I forgot how much i liked it!

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

This album was really cool! I liked the mix of sounds and styles, and I do think it's funny that their name is "The Band"

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

It was pretty good, but I wish that I could rate half stars because ideally I'd give it 2.5

Infected

The The

2/5

It was too much random noise for me, not a fan.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

This had some classic hits on it, I was into the whole vibe.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

2/5

I thought it was wild, and I didn't really like it. I feel like it had a lot of cool parts but the way they were put together was just too chaotic for my taste.

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

5/5

I actually loved this album. It was so cool and had such a sick vibe. I wanted more at the end!

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

It wasn't my favorite but it had some cool spots in it.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

No thank you Leonard. I didn't like the singing or the music, and I feel like it's bs that he's on this list tbh.

Odessa

Bee Gees

3/5

Ehh it was pretty good, but like pretty similar to the other albums we've gotten from this decade.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Parallel Lines

Blondie

5/5

absolute fire. such a great album, and it had a lot of Blondie's hits on it

Moby Grape

2/5

Ehh, it was a little bit whispery and weird. I appreciated the music, but not so much the singing.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

2/5

I wanted to like this so much, but it was too grungy for me. Kinda bummed me out to listen to it, and I felt like I couldn't relate to the content at all.

Tracy Chapman

3/5

She has a great voice! I can't say I love the type of music she makes, but I still enjoyed listening to it.

The Clash

2/5

all the songs sounded the same, and they were all just okay. It was too much whining and too monotone for me.

Live Through This

Hole

3/5

If only I had discovered this during my angsty teenage years! Love the angst, the rage, and the drama

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

I liked this album, though I am not sure that I think it's anything too special. I liked the vibes and the sound for sure

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

it was pretty good, but i felt like it wasn't too special. i really liked the music but i thought the lyrics were lacking at times

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

1/5

I did not like this at all. It felt contrived and rude and judgmental. I didn't mind the country/folksy music but I expected more from the Byrds

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

I really liked this, though I found some of the songs to be a bit too long/repetitive (which is generally what I don't like about reggae). Overall though it had good vibes, and I liked the cool 80s elements you could hear in it as well.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

This is a classic album for sure -- great music, great vibes. I definitely liked it a lot

Virgin Suicides

Air

1/5

This was not a good album. I feel like even if it's so perfect for the movie, that does not make it a good album on its own (as you said Kix). Lame!

Debut

Björk

2/5

I just couldn't get behind this to be honest, and I really wanted to like it. It was just too much noise, not enough music.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

2/5

I really did not love the style or the music. It was sort of whiny and lame in my opinion.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

This is a really classic album, and I am a big fan of Pink Floyd. I love the emotion in this album -- in the music and the lyrics.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

I think this is an incredible work, and it is truly so unique and beautiful. Her voice is so iconic, and the piano is really amazing too.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

I really didn't love this album. I thought it was pretty monotonous and not super interesting. It felt like a middle school-esque angst type of album.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

I love this album, it's just so full of good vibes!

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

This album was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of this genre of pop but I thought the vocals were incredible (obvi) and it was super fun to listen to.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

1/5

I was not a fan of this album at all. I thought the "singing" was terrible, and it felt like it was off-beat or each member of the band was doing their own thing. It wasn't all bad but it was not good either.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Obviously a great album, with great vocals and a lot of classics on it! I really enjoyed it :)

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

I thought this was a really sick jazz album. It was so moody and emotional, loved that.

The Coral

1/5

This album is garbage. The lyrics sucked, the music sucked, and I hated it.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

It's pretty good for sure, a solid album and quite silly/satirical at times, which I liked.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

This is a good album, def a classic.

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

Like it was nice sounds, but I wouldn't necessarily call it music.

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

it was pretty good, like definitely some solid 80s synth going on, but idk if we really needed to hear this album.

Terence Trent D'Arby

4/5

I really liked this album! It was so funky and dancy, quite different than a lot of the other stuff we have listened to so far

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

It was pretty good. I'd heard a lot of the songs before, but metal isn't my favorite tbh

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

5/5

this is a great album! Missy is so cool and I absolutely love seeing this on the list

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

It was obviously great, but it wasn't as good as his other stuff we have heard so far.

Tito Puente

5/5

It was indeed a dance mania moment. This album slaps.

Dare!

The Human League

3/5

It was pretty solid, very fun 80s pop! I liked it

Quiet Life

Japan

2/5

I thought it was alright, but nothing too special. I found the singing to be very monotonous, and not in an interesting way.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

2/5

I really loved the classics on this album of course, but I did feel that the content about Indigenous peoples was really problematic.

Berlin

Lou Reed

1/5

I hated this.

Bert Jansch

2/5

I really didn't like the music -- it all sounded the same to me -- but I feel bad about it this time because I feel like he was really talented at playing the instruments.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

3/5

This was fine, definitely a bit much for my taste tho.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

Ehh it was fine, but I'm not a huge fan of bob dylan.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

It was pretty good, a little country for my taste, but it was pretty nice to listen to regardless.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

I thought some of the songs were too long and repetitive so it wasn't my favorite, but I still liked it.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

it was really fun and different! I really appreciate the wide range of instruments and vocals, but it was just not my favorite type of music for sure.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

1/5

I didn't like it. It sounded like a bunch of noise, not music.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

A classic album and even tho parts of it are problematic, I still really liked the way it sounded.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

2/5

It was okay, definitely not my favorite though.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

3/5

I liked this album quite a bit. Weirdly, it gave me almost Khraungbin vibes

Pelican West

Haircut 100

3/5

It was good 80s synth-pop, but at the end of the day that isn't so spectacular to me. I liked it tho, overall.

The Sonics

4/5

I had no idea that this was the band who did all those classic songs, but I loved it! It was good vibes and fun music :)

Palo Congo

Sabu

5/5

this was so different than any other music I ever listen to and I loved it!

No Other

Gene Clark

3/5

it wasn't bad, but it didn't have anything particularly interesting going on either.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

It was fine, but I'm not a huge fan of grunge or the Smashing Pumpkins, so it was not my favorite.

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

It's a good album, just not exactly my favorite style of music

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

It was a solid album, I definitely liked the folksy and bluesy blend of styles.

Superunknown

3/5

I really don't love soundgarden but I fully get the appeal after listening to this album! It was interesting and it had a really cool perspective, so I liked it.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

4/5

This album slaps, obviously.
