Great stuff! Really experimental guitar, great vocals. Didn’t quite key into any sort of story, but fantastic overall.

A truly amazing album. Melodically interesting, beautiful lyrics. The mic is instrumental and lyrics based songs added for a fantastic range of sounds and vibes. Loved it

The Joshua Tree

4/5

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Cohesive stylistically, irreverent at times but it works

The Slider

T. Rex

2/5

It was okay. Kinda felt like a bunch of songs full of choruses. Stylistically pretty interesting. Like Bowie but not Bowie and slightly worse and less creative. Didn't blow me away. Average!

Tidal

Fiona Apple

5/5

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Intimate with shocks of sound that jolt your ear in the best way possible. Dynamics were great. Really well done overall.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

Pretty awesome soundscapes. Definitely someone I imagine Daft Punk would be inspired by. Interesting to think about how he did this with the limited technology of the time. Each part flowed into the next smoothly!

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

Classic nostalgia for me, my 14 year old self is headbanging. On a re-listen it's still quite good, but lacking a sense of progression to me. Stylistically cohesive but not necessarily progressing through any movement or dynamic shifts.

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

3/5

Was alright! I might like it more on a second listen. The sound I think is a bit dated, but not in a classic way. Maybe it’ll sound better in 2030. This sounds like the transition from MySpace to Facebook.

Solid Air

John Martyn

4/5

Really nice. Guitar focused so that immediately grabs my ear. I thought the whole album flowed well and blanketed the ear nicely.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

4/5

Good beats, thoughtful lyrics. An era I have not explored enough of.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

A classic for a reason

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

Delightful folk rock. So close to a 5 but it’ll have to be a 4

Bert Jansch

3/5

Some nice songs but a bit disconnected, confusing at times.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Great stuff! Really experimental guitar, great vocals. Didn’t quite key into any sort of story, but fantastic overall.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Lots of fun! Pretty interesting, at times a bit grating but I interpret that to be intentional.

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Historically significant but didn't do much for me! Comparing it to Kanye's debut or even Jeru the Damaja's, there's a world of evolution. But gotta respect the ones who did it first. Interesting blend of 80s styles with the shred guitar on some tracks though.

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

Good but not great! Admittedly I was not the most focused while listening.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

It was ok. A bit kitschy, but expected.

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

2/5

Pretty bad. Dated both culturally and sonically. Not sure what value this album brings to the list. To me it’s very clearly made for commercial purposes.

Pretty meh. Couple songs were enjoyable but just wasn’t in the mood for something like this. Maybe if it were 1999 at a warehouse rave.

Van Halen

3/5

This song is hits front to back! Felt like I’d heard them all before. Unfortunately as an album it didn’t mesh super well for me

Never heard of this band but apparently they’re big! Pretty good album, no big complaints besides I guess the bias towards the sort of crooning male singer that this list has.
