Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

Interesting album. Thought it was really good. I haven't listened to the Kinks a lot, but I see their appeal. I really liked Australia and Victoria.

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Interesting. Not a huge fan of Blur, but it wasn't bad. I didn't hate it, but not sure there was anything that was going to make my favorites list.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Really liked this, listened several times.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

5/5

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

Faces

5/5

Wow, not familiar with Faces. Didn't realize this was Rockin' Rod. The initial impression is great bluesy rock. Definitely some similarity to the Doors. I like it. It will be interesting to see if all the tracks are like this.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

2/5

I've never been a Tom Waits fan. This is an interesting album, but can't say I enjoyed it much.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Kinda weird, but I liked it.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

5/5

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

The Coral

4/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

5/5

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Not bad, a little too vintage for my taste, but some good songs. I liked She's Got Everything.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise

2/5

OK, this is weird, 6 songs, but the first track is 20 minutes long. Plus, I've never heard of this, not even sure what the genre is.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

5/5

This is one of my all time favorite albums. I love it.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Not really my genre, but this was pretty good.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

I was kind of over Kate Bush. Running up the Hill has been overplayed and overcovered over the years, but I found this album to actually be pretty enjoyable.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

4/5

Not really my genre, but Ice T is great.

Follow The Leader

Korn

2/5

Don't love Korn. This wasn't great.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

4/5

Gotta love some classic Alice Cooper

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

Ugh, Bob Dylan is so hard for me to listen to. Actually, I found this better than I thought and quite enjoyed it.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

I love Bongo Bong

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

4/5

Not bad. I enjoyed this.

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

4/5

Never heard of this one. Seems like there are a lot of those.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

Vintage Cure is always great.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

I always think of David Crosby as some kind of Wilford Brimley type fat old guy. Like the quaker oats guy or something. This is really pretty good, and good to remember that he was a big deal back in the day, both solo and with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (or the variations thereof). Oh, I didn't realize Crosby as in the Byrds.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Really enjoyed this.

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

2/5

4/5

Not a huge Metallica fan, but that is a good album.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Classic Stones

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

4/5

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but it's iconic for sure.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Wow, this is weird. Prog rock, lots of vintage keyboard and other weird sounds. Some of it almost symphonic. Not really my jam.

The Stone Roses

5/5

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

5/5

LOVE Steve Earle

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Really strange. Some cool guitar, but not really my things.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

3/5

More punk than I thought, so that was kind of cool, but couldn't get behind the lyrics.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

5/5

Queen is always great.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

5/5

Pretty sure I'm going to like this more than I used to like Chicago. Really cool. Some of it got a little jam bandy, but really liked the horns in the band and it being lest soft rock than the later Chicago.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

A friend introduced me to the Pet Shop Boys in college, and they have been one of my favorites ever since. I'm not sure I've ever listened to this whole album by itself, but Being Boring, So Hard and Jealousy are great tracks, so I'm sure the rest will be good too.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

Again, not really my jam, but hey, I'll listen.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Just no

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

5/5

More Specials

The Specials

4/5

Really interesting. The first few tracks I thought really sounded muddy and like they were recorded in a garage or something. The later tracks seemed better. Not sure I love it, but it wasn't bad overall.

5/5

Let It Be

The Replacements

4/5

I love Paul Westerberg

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

4/5

Whole thing isn't on spotify. I'm not sure why. I actually enjoyed what was on there more than I thought I would.

Songs Of Love And Hate

4/5

I like Leonard, but some of these are depressing and hard to listen to.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

4/5

Stand!

Fleet Foxes

2/5

I'm not a fan of folk in general.

Not bad for metal. I'd listen again.

Love

5/5

Never heard of this, but it's an excellent album. Really liked it.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

5/5

I'm surprised that there are two Alice Cooper albums on this list. I didn't think he was that influential, and I didn't realize this work was early 70s. I would have thought it was late 70s or early 80s.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

It was OK.

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

Cool punk album.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

5/5

I like this.

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

4/5

Interesting, great indie rock feel, but I'm not sure any of the songs really hooked me.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Interesting that almost every song on this album is prison-related and dark. It wouldn't seem like prisoners would want to be reminded of their escape, but maybe it helped him connect with them. Seemed different from the San Quentin album, darker somehow.

This album is so great, not only because it's such high quality, but it's amazing to listen to his final work. One of the best albums every in our opinion.

Overall, I'm not a big Stones fan, but I have to say I do like this album quite a bit. Sympathy for the Devil is a great classic song, but the whole album is pretty great musically, especially the guitar.

I just don't love this style of Jazz. Listened to some Miles Davis recently and loved it, but Coltrane isn't my favorite. That said, I can see why this is important to listen to.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. The Killers had such a great sound and were so tight on this album. There's a reason the first 5 tracks on this album are not just hits, but an iconic representation of the era. It's so good.

This would have my vote for best album of all time. Back in the day we listened to this a LOT. I had one friend who claimed that he wore out the CD and had to buy a new one, that's the only time I've ever heard of that happening. I'm not sure it's even possible, but he played it enough that it might have happened.
