Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

It’s clear to me how impactful this album was to so many modern albums based on how familiar it sounded despite never listening to it fully before.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

5/5

Excited to finally listen to this whole album. Kind of psychedelic, experimental rock and folk. Reminded me of when I fell in love with the London Olympic Games opening ceremony music - I miss that soundtrack/playlist.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

It’s clear to me how impactful this album was to so many modern albums based on how familiar it sounded despite never listening to it fully before.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

Instrumentations were alright, but no idea why it ended up on this list.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

Blues honestly is not my favorite genre and I know I completely miss the point of it. I can tell these folks were vibing and the quality was good, but I was left feeling bored.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Mature but unrefined at the same time. Serious and fun. Glad I listened to it.

Live Through This

Hole

4/5

Alive, honest, loud, desperate, angry. Surprised I recognized two or three of the songs on this album.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

This was more impressive than I had hoped. This group has a soft, gentle, safe rock-psych moment before they are forced into chintzy surf pop. The vocals shine, especially in the last track.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

2/5

quintessential folk

Timeless

Goldie

3/5

Definitely of an “era”. Noticed a sampled snare rhythm that I’ve heard before. The album seemed repetitious in its motifs, it seemed they were quite excited about being revolutionary!

Paris 1919

John Cale

2/5

It was fine folk, but a bit repetitive.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Clear evolution through the album into more experimental areas. Enjoyed the vocals and liked the folk-rock mixtures.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Some skippable songs, but overall incredible vocals and progressively more progressive.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Beautiful, soaring vocals. Interesting instrumentation. Great vibes.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

I always enjoy albums that have songs of both - familiar and tried, plus evolutionary.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

4/5

Be still my heart … the vocals … wow

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

5/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

At first I was worried this would be happy-go-lucky disconnected smile pop from the 70s, but I got the sense that as the album progressed the drugs and depth came in…ha!

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

I had no idea. Incredible vocals. Emotion. Wow.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

4/5

Always up for chill eclectic…
