S&M

Metallica

5/5

Absolutely legendary album. This is the album I give people when they say they "don't like metal". It's absolutely incredible no matter your musical tastes.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

An entire album of famous hits I've heard before. Didn't realize these songs were all hers. The only one I knew for sure was "Son of a Preacher Man" and that's not even on this album.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

4/5

Phenomenal musicality. Was expecting more ear worms. But definitely an album if you want something funky and crowd-pleasing that's upbeat but not overbearing.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

4/5

Was not expecting a band I had never heard of on the list. The album was great though. Especially "What You Do To Me". How have I not heard that song before, it's great!!!

Miriam Makeba

3/5

I guess I don't understand how these 1001 albums are chosen and the link to Wikipedia doesn't help either as far as context is concerned. I was surprised to hear "Mbube" though - I had no idea that "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was based off an South African classic.

All Directions

The Temptations

5/5

Absolutely fantastic album. Same thing - heard of Temptations but never went through the album. Even the unknown songs are great. And both ends - pure happy funky, to very relaxed and chill R&B motown. Great great great.

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Pretty good. Not my cup of tea, but glad I'm familiar with the album now.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

First album I am familiar with. Enjoyed it when it came out and still a big fan. Though is another album that the critics love and I appreciate but not an all-time favorite I have on constant spin.

Me Against The World

2Pac

4/5

Dear Mama is still the #1 classic Tupac song.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

5/5

I love people like Lenny who sing with such passion. It really gets you into the album and music and lyrics and theme. Phenomenal record.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

1/5

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Lots of songs that eventually became samples in famous rap songs :)

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Amazing album!

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Had never heard this album all the way through. Then hearing all the classics as well as the amazing songs in between, this is absolutely a top classic of all time that everyone should hear.

S&M

Metallica

5/5

Absolutely legendary album. This is the album I give people when they say they "don't like metal". It's absolutely incredible no matter your musical tastes.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Still a classic

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Pretty great album, that kicked off an era.

Le Tigre

3/5

Definitely a place in history for this record.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Musically, is an amazing album. Hearing crazy, gritty guitars and vocals, followed by doo wop is a wild journey. Love it.
