Charles Mingus

4/5

One of the great jazz records.

John Martyn

3/5

Knew nothing about the artist or album going into it. Not bad. Soft rock, but then it also had elements of jazz, progressive and hard rock. Intriguing album but it's hard to wrap my head around it on the first listen.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Fantastic album and might be the best one from Radiohead. One of my first vinyl purchases. Some excellent songs on here including Reckoner, Weird Fishes, Nude. I remember hearing it for the first time in my best friends basement when we downloaded it from their website for free (which has served as a game changer).

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

One of the first albums that I really started listening to. It brings me back to when I was dating my first girlfriend at the age of 16 since we listened to it a lot. There's some great songs in this one. Standouts include Band on the Run, Jet, Mrs. Vandebilt, Let Me Roll It, Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

4/5

Bad ass. Though the mixing doesn't sound too great since sometimes it's hard to hear certain instruments, like the drums. But the great overpowering riffs make up for that and it definitely has plenty of great 'bar in the desert' vibes.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

1/5

Relaxing music, but beyond that didn't get much out of it.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

What a fantastic album. One of the best rock albums of all time and one of Hendrix's most impressive works. Too many exceptional tracks to even list. This is Hendrix at his prime.

Eagles

3/5

Better than I expected since I'm used to Hotel California and their more country sounding material. Side A is stronger than Side B, but a pretty decent album overall.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

2/5

Not really into this one all that much. These guys are pioneers for sure, but unfortunately they fall victim to being the cliché of British punk music because so many other bands after them sounded similar. Not their fault by any means. Aside from that, the music didn't last much with me though altogether still wasn't bad at all.

The La's

1/5

Pretty confused on how this album is included in a "must listen before you die" list. It's just generic early 90s alt rock, nothing special to it at all.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great performance from a legend.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

2/5

Kinda outdated and stale, but alright to put on during supper.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Better than average pop record, but doesn't do much for me personally.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins." "Homer Simpson, nodding politely." This is the best album that Smashing Pumpkins made and one of the most iconic albums in alternative rock history and a relic of the 90s.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

3/5

Pretty cool instrumental album that caught me off guard. Interesting mix of funk, hip-hop and jazz.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Didn't do much for me personally and the moments I liked were a bit too far in between.

Dub Housing

Pere Ubu

2/5

I appreciate the experimentation but overall not something that I would go back to. I'd be grooving to it one second, and then confused the next.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Kenya

Machito

4/5

Timeless latin-jazz

The Band

3/5

Iconic

American Pie

Don McLean

2/5

Aside from "American Pie" there wasn't much here to keep me entertained.

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Impressive

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

3/5

Good 80s pop which serves as a major influence to the generations of artists that came after.

New Forms

Roni Size

1/5

Drum and bass isn't typically my vibe so I didn't get a lot from this album.

Drunk

Thundercat

5/5

Excellent album full of futuristic funk, soul, humor and impressive musicianship.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

3/5

Impressive album which helps her stand out from her peers.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

3/5

Solid Air

John Martyn

3/5

Knew nothing about the artist or album going into it. Not bad. Soft rock, but then it also had elements of jazz, progressive and hard rock. Intriguing album but it's hard to wrap my head around it on the first listen.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Vivid

Living Colour

2/5

Cool riffs and Cult of Personality is a classic, but aside from that it was a bit boring.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

1/5

Forgettable because it just sounds like everything that had come out already. Doesn't stand out and be it's own thing and instead tows the line for what was already becoming outdated at that time.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

1/5

Personally it came across as pretty meandering to be honest.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Classic.

Ramones

4/5

Though it can sound repetitive at times, it's a very impressive album that set a standard for the punk genre.

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Gets a bit dragged down by an inferior second half, but the rest really brings it all together.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Absolute classic that set a standard for the genre. Excellent samples create a jazzy atmosphere that match up with the great lyrical team up of Q-Tip and Phife Dawg. One of the best albums in 90s hip-hop and an absolute must listen.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

3/5

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

Not up my alley, but pretty good for what it is - contemporary pop.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

4/5

5/5

5/5

Perhaps the best folk album to spawn since the new millenium began. Robin Pecknold's voice and the bands talent is obvious, and they create some of the most beautiful harmonies you'll ever hear.

Quite possibly the best album of the 21st century so far. Lyrics, flow, production, themes are all 10/10. Not only a masterpiece of the Hip-Hop genre, but up there with all time greats such as Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon and Nirvana's Nevermind.

When I was 14 I used to blast this on my Walkman religiously while playing Mario Kart Double Dash at all hours of the night. Anyways, super iconic album and both discs are fantastic. Could be the best double album in hip-hop history. Andre 3000 and Big Boi both deliver with the lyrics, great production, catchy hits and sweet features. An album for the ages that definitely deserved all of the success that it had.

This is a compilation album so it feels kinda weird to have this one listed instead of works like Veni Vedi Vicious or Tyrannosaurus Hives. Definitely should have just had one or both of these albums listed. Aside from that though, awesome collection of post punk songs.
