Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jun 22 2022

Preachy and too similar but respect to the songwriting

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jul 20 2022

It’s Cowpunk—what else could you want?

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jul 25 2022

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

Jul 26 2022

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

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 01 2022

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 by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 02 2022

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

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Aug 03 2022

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

Graceland by Paul Simon
Aug 04 2022

"Who am I to blow against the wind"

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 08 2022

Raw, emotional, and excellent.

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 09 2022

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 by The Kinks
Aug 10 2022

One of them good British Invasion bands.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Aug 11 2022

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.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Aug 18 2022

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

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 25 2022

One of those sixties albums that is still really good

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Aug 29 2022

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

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 31 2022

Krautrock is lovely

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Sep 01 2022

Not necessarily the Jam but definitely a decent jam

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Sep 02 2022

Decent stay, rooms had character but no bass...boards

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Sep 07 2022

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 Blueprint by JAY Z
Sep 09 2022

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 by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Classic album, jangle pop at its supreme

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Sep 14 2022
At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Sep 20 2022

A live album with all the character of Johnny Cash distilled into less than hour

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 27 2022
Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 04 2022
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 07 2022

Good album that hasn't aged well due to current allegations

Harvest by Neil Young
Oct 20 2022

Really good

Rocks by Aerosmith
Oct 24 2022
Young Americans by David Bowie
Nov 02 2022

Bowie goes Soul and its great (minus the Beatles Cover)
