Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

I didn't expect to like this album because of Neil Young's vocals, but I liked how he sounds on this album much more than a project like "Harvest". The songs are very catchy and it's a super fun alubm.

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

First day of 1001albums, so it started off great. Tons of bangers on here, definitely enjoyed the whole thing.

Berlin

Lou Reed

4/5

Great album. Seems very maximalist and I love the vocals and instrumentals. It had aged beautifully and sounds like it could’ve come out in the past decade.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

It had a lot of great songs, but it just is far too long for what it offers. The vocals, though good, can be a bit much for me after about an hour of listening. Definitely more good than bad though.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Great album with awesome instrumentals, it’s clear this album has tons of artistic merit. As good as it is, I don’t see myself coming back to listen to it for fun very often, but still a good listen.

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Decent album, but Neil Young's voice is really just not my favorite thing. Great guitar playing, but only a couple songs I'd see myself coming back to.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

One of the best albums of all time. Every song is masterfully put together and both the vocals, instrumentals, and storytelling are immaculate

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

I like the idea of this album and had a good time listening to it. The songwriting style gets a little repetitive, but overall a good listen. I don’t think it’s something I’d put on frequently though, it’s just a little too out there for me to listen to much.

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

Has some really awesome instrumentals and vocals. One of the most fun albums I’ve listened to in a while, I’ll definitely throw this on to get hyped in the future.

The Clash

4/5

Great classic punk album. Tons of bangers, and I can totally see how this group influenced the future of punk.

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

4/5

I’ve never heard of this artist before, but they have some really cool instrumentals and the vocals match up perfectly for some very catchy songs.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Good album, very clear how sounds like these influenced 2000s punk. I like it quite a bit, but mostly for its influence.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

This album was excellent. Green’s voice is great and the whole album is terrifically soulful and an amazing listen. Nice and concise as well

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

5/5

This album is so great. Waylon pioneers country music in this album, and the vocal and instrumental performances are amazing. The songwriting is great and has tons of catchy stuff, and I will likely listen to this album several more times.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

This is not the type of album I usually like, but it kept me well entertained the whole time. I like the overall vibe

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

This album is hugely impressive, obviously influential, and overall very fun to listen to. I’m not a huge fan of Axl’s vocals, but this is still a great album

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

4/5

This album has some super catchy songs and great punk vibes. Exactly the type of sound I love from punk music, and obviously influential.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

5/5

I came into this album with pretty low expectations, and they were very much blown away. It really feels like an album that defines an era and a genre. It's an incredibly fun listen with very memorable and catchy songs. Sometimes simple is just more fun.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

4/5

This album was really cool and so before it’s time. One of the gems this site has given me. This record is just very fun in general

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

3/5

This album surprised me, as I had only heard stayin alive before. Overall a solid listen but nothing really grabbed my attention.

Let It Be

The Replacements

3/5

Pretty good album, but it mostly felt very similar to a lot of other punk rock records in the 80s. Nothing too crazy, but overall solid.

Clandestino

4/5

Killing Joke

4/5

Pretty good album. Some really catchy songs and very ahead of its time.

5/5

Pet Sounds

This album to me suffers from its own reputation. I think it’s a good album, but it gets hyped up as one of the best of all time, which I don’t quite understand. Still very good, just not my favorite I suppose

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Really good album. Lots of awesome instrumentals and the vocals pair really perfectly to create a fantastical, ethereal experience. Love it.

4/5

I really liked the vocals and overall atmosphere this album creates. It’s very impressive

Shaft
