Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

The Cars

4/5

Pretty solid album. Great start. Lost me a bit near the end.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

4/5

Fantastic funk infused soul. Very groovy :)

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

5/5

Classic country rock! Best around for sure

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

The Beatles are a classically popular band, and this album was great, but not my favorite of their collection. It was okay.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Beautiful concert piano. A bit too relaxing for a work setting, but perfect for background music at home.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

2/5

Coffee shop jazz. Meh.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

Heard it before. It's pretty good if you're into funk.

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

I really liked it at first, but then I started to realize many of the songs shared the exact same beat and sound. Even the biggest hit from his follow up album had the same beat from the previous album. Come on, man. Sounds good, but the music is lazy. You can hear a handful of the songs and know what every other song sounds like, just with different lyrics.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Fleetwood Mac (the 2nd iteration) at its finest. A classic album, making the world a better place.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

Great album. Pink Floyd is pretty good.

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

4/5

Jammin' 80s pop. Can't ever go wrong with that.

Virgin Suicides

Air

4/5

The music was very soothing, and I'll definitely check out this movie because of it.

Al Green

4/5

Nice and smooth. Last song didn't seem to match the tone, but all good elsewhere

2112

Rush

4/5

Album was great.

Immigrés

Youssou N'Dour

4/5

Honestly, not bad. I liked it way more than I thought I would. I just don't see myself revisiting it too often

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Uh, HELL YEA. I already loved this album (and RHCP). Killer album. One of, if not, the best album of theirs.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

I mean, very different albums but both were awesome. Outkast is legit.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Now I get it.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Liked a lot of the tracks and beats, but there's just too much exposition.

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

This pop / hip-hop blend is all too generic nowadays. The vocals seemed the same throughout the entire LP. Meh.

Blind

5/5

Creedence, forever.

Birth Of The Cool

5/5

Soothing melodies throughout. Very pleasant.

Fleet Foxes

5/5

Indie folk royalty at its finest. If you like folk, you'll love this.

The La's

3/5

It was okay. "There She Goes" is obviously a big hit, but the rest seemed kind of common for the era. Nothing stood out. But hey, okay isn't too shaby.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Old Coldplay was based.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Great album Stones

A Northern Soul

The Verve

4/5

This was pretty good. The Verve seem underrated, usually relegated to their one or two big hits. Solid piece of work.

Morrison Hotel

5/5

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Normally, I would like something like this, but something about it rubbed me the wrong way. Some songs were good, but I also hated others. I'm torn, I don't know. Not a fan of his voice either.
