Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Preachy and too similar but respect to the songwriting

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

5/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

The Piano man played us a song, it was pretty alright

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

1/5

Acid Jazz without the acid, questionable on the jazz, and a guy's singing that gives you relief when his vocals cease

Joan Baez

3/5

Frank

Amy Winehouse

2/5

One of those albums that seemed fashionable to add to this list at the time and it gave them free space to remove when anything even measurably good appeared on the horizon later on. In short, this album was added just to protect having to remove some terrible 1960s album that will always be on this list because its old and you can't change my mind.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Pure celebration of blues and psychedelic music while showing Jimi's masterful craftsmanship and wistful imagination

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

The album name aptly names the process Todd used to choose what tracks to include on his album.

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

"Who am I to blow against the wind"

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

S > C > N

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Raw, emotional, and excellent.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Another one of those one word bands that when they jam they bring are hot but when the lead singer opens their mouth you just sit their waiting for them to shut up and get back to jamming. Yes is one of these bands. Tl;dr Yes is a no on a lyrical level. (Würm is the best part on here.)

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

One of them good British Invasion bands.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

Yes, that Wilson family and it more or less shows that those Beach Boys documentaries where Brian Wilson is the only true musician is inaccurate.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

Fair-port

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

2/5

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Not the greatest Led Zeppelin but certainly not the worst. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

If you want to know what chaos magic sounds like, look no further. [Quite literally, look into it] By the Emperor, this album is heresy.

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Queen II

Queen

3/5

The Doors

5/5

One of those sixties albums that is still really good

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Masterpiece

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Another one of those records that shifted the 60s into the 70s and was a good thing

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

Sure is reggae

Tago Mago

Can

5/5

4/5

Call Me

The Slider

T. Rex

5/5

Brilliance

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

3/5

You know why this album is on here--one half is forgettable and the other you have heard on the radio so much that it is also forgettable (overrated)

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

4/5

Cool concept album that felt rather bloated and excessive at times

The Blueprint

JAY Z

4/5

Jay Z verbally slaughters Nas and then gives you a rap album. A rap album that heavily foreshadows his role in inspiring Lemonade.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Classic album, jangle pop at its supreme

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath
