Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

I didn't grow up in the 90s but this is what I imagine it sounded like.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

2/5

The songs weren't necessarily bad but the whole album is so aggressively uninspiring.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

5/5

What a live album, what a voice. I can't believe I had gone my whole life without listening to Dancing in the Moonlight. Never making that mistake again

This album was so much fun to listen to. So glad I didn't skip this recommendation

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

That's a hell of an opening track. Fav track is definetly Almost Cut My Hair. Deja Vu and Country Girl are strong contenders too. Just an overall solid album with a cohesive track order and stellar songs. 👌

Deja Vu

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

1/5

Girl... what is this? The Glorious Land might just be one of the worst songs I've ever heard. On the plus side, I've never heard so many positive things said about England. And the last half of The Words That Maketh Murder wasn't all that bad. Maybe it's just not for me because I did not enjoy this album.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Love it. Sounds like summer. Super good vibes.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

I didn't grow up in the 90s but this is what I imagine it sounded like.

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

2/5

Hmm...maybe I need to hear a remastered version or something because I had a hard time getting into the album

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Stir it up is one of those songs that get better with each listen. This is a great album

Parklife

Blur

3/5

I feel like this is what it would sound like if the Beatles made an album in the 90s. I can appreciate that

Viva Hate

Morrissey

3/5

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

4/5

This album was so much fun to listen to. So glad I didn't skip this recommendation

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

2/5

Obviously incredibly talented instrumentalists. And I enjoyed listening Child in Time and The Mule. But I felt the album as a whole was underwhelming and I'm not sure why. Maybe I just expected everything to sound like Smoke on the Water.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

Once you get past the god awful lyrics, it's a pretty decent album.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

1/5

It was boring.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

Me Against The World

2Pac

4/5

This album has all the best parts of west coast rap. Great listen all the way through

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

2/5

I think a lot of the songs sound a bit too dated but I can appreciate the album for what it probably once was

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

5/5

It's amazing how well this album has aged. It's just so good. So, so good.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

5/5

What a live album, what a voice. I can't believe I had gone my whole life without listening to Dancing in the Moonlight. Never making that mistake again

The Band

2/5

The second half was a lot stronger than the first half but overall still very boring to listen to

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

A bit too corny for my taste but it's really cool hearing earlier versions of sampling in hip hop

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

2/5

it's a cœur-SUHH

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Strangely soothing.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

I'm surprised this album is here. As a Lana fan, this has always been my least favorite project of hers. Sure the album is great lyrically and there are some nice songs, but for the most part, the production takes any fun out of it. Jack Antonoff has a tendency to drain the melodic uniqueness out of artists and this album is just another casualty.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Everything except for So Long, Marianne was pretty dreadful

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

1/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

Very "The Beatles meets early 2000s indie/alt" and I enjoyed every second of it.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

The album's a bit long, but man, did it make me feel cool

Hysteria

Def Leppard

5/5

I love drums

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

4/5

1. This album is aging really well. 2. This is kind of the perfect album length.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

2/5

The songs weren't necessarily bad but the whole album is so aggressively uninspiring.

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

I wish the album sounded more like "Crocodiles".

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

War

1/5

I know music is subjective and all but this is, objectively speaking, shit from a butt

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

One of the few (and I mean *few*) punk albums that could stand the test of time. 20 years later and there's still so much new artists could learn from an album like this.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

Tracy Chapman

4/5

I never really pay attention to lyrics but it's really hard to overlook the masterful storytelling and poignancy of every track in this album. These are the kind of lyrics that make you wanna drop whatever you're doing just to make sure you're hearing every word.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Disraeli Gears

Cream
