Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
I've never been a big fan of Clapton, so I've never sought out his work. I've found his solo work boring and I never thought Cream lived up to the hype. Like, I seriously don't get why people thought he was the best rock guitarist. So, in listening to this in its entirety for the first time today I found it to be better than I was expecting. I got bored before it ended -- they probably could have trimmed 30 mins from the 75, but I didn't turn it off either. I doubt I'd voluntarily listening to it again, but if it was playing in the background somewhere I don't think I'd complain.

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
The older I get the more I appreciate (& love Steely Dan). I'm not a big fan of "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" making this album not as strong in my opinion as Aja, Countdown to Ecstacy, the Royal Scam, or Can't Buy a Thrill.

Exit Planet Dust

After the first 90 seconds of listening to this tripe, I felt like I was in a training montage of a 90s-00s sci-fi, action and/or thriller flick. I hated this shit at the time, and it seriously hasn't aged well. Had to turn it off after 8 minutes. Absolute garbage.

This would be a great album if it wasn't marred by cheesy 80s production. I've heard the demo of Born in the USA from the Nebraska Sessions -- imagine if he recorded this album in the 70s

I smoked a lot of weed in high school listening to this album, but I feel like it hasn't aged as well as other hip-hop albums from the late 80s/early 90s. The beats are pretty good, but the lyrics are terrible. Couldn't make it past the 4th track. 2 stars for nostalgia. 2/5

Having grown up with Smiley Smile & various bootlegs of Smile, I was stoked to check this out when it came out in 2004, but frankly 2011’s Smile Sessions, Smiley Smile & the various bootlegs sound so much better than this re-recorded tripe. The best thing about this album is that there is a definitive track listing/sequencing, but would Smile have actually been released as a 52 minute double album in 1967? This release should be replaced in the book by the Smile Sessions.

Technique

"Substance," "Brotherhood," & "Power, Corruption & Lies" all should have made the list before "Technique."

Le Tigre
Le Tigre
How the hell did this make the list & not a single Bikini Kill album? I've tried to get into Le Tigre since 1999, but I just can't stand them musically. I'll take Bikini Kill's "Reject All American," "Pussy Whipped" or "The C.D. Version of the First Two Records" any day over Le Tigre.
1/5: I couldn’t make it all the way through the album.

Like A Prayer

The hits are the hits, the filler was filler, & the Prince duet was a nice surprise.

The Age Of The Understatement

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
I wish I could give this album 5 stars. "Wish You Were Here" & "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" are two of my all-time favorite Pink Floyd songs. However, "Have A Cigar" is one of my all-time least favorite Pink Floyd songs. I'm indifferent to "Welcome To The Machine."
4/5: A flawed masterpiece.

Oh look another nineties britpop record! Well that certainly didn't sound like an album I MUST HEAR BEFORE I DIE, like, say "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane (which of course didn't make the list).
2/5: not offensive enough to turn off if it came on & not good enough to voluntarily listen to.

Even though I'm a fan of the La's who bought this album when it came out. I was shocked to see that it made the list of albums I *MUST* listen to before I die when The Cranberries, Yo La Tengo, and Love & Rockets all didn't make the list. The La's were good, not great & definitely not of the caliber of the Smiths or Stone Roses. 3/5

Licensed To Ill
Beastie Boys
I was 10 years old when this album came out, & I was just branching out into developing my own music tastes beyond my parents' (Beach Boys, Beatles, Monkees) or Top 40 radio (Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Cindi Lauper). I remember there was a lot of parental anxiety over this album (& hip-hop & heavy metal in general). I can't remember if I wasn't allowed to buy it, or I had merely assumed the outcome of that conversation before it was had, so not only was it one of the first albums I acquired that was "my" music, this was the first tape that I copied off of a friend.
Since Check Your Head came out (& completely blew my mind), I have hardly listened to License to Ill. I'd say "Girls" & "Fight for Your Right" are the two weakest tracks on the album, and the deep cuts were refreshing to revisit. I'd still take Paul's Boutique, Check Your Head, Ill Communication, & Hello Nasty over this one.
4/5 - a flawed classic.
