3.5/5. Felt more fast paced than the other funky album, which is pretty groovy. Every album should have a 13 minute song called “Sex Machine” from now on.

Life on Mars is one of the greatest songs of all time and Queen Bitch invented glam rock.

The beginning of Bob Dylan’s controversial shift from folk to rock music, also happens to be the best era of his long and celebrated career. Such an incredible lyricist, no doubt one of the most groundbreaking albums of the 1960s.

3.5/5. Only Happy When It Rains and Stupid Girl are obvious standouts.

3.5/5. Forgot this band existed, first heard about them from 500 Days of Summer. Pretty solid.

4.5/5. This is some really great stuff, the working class are the only people that have made good music from Britain #hottake

Mixing jazz with rap was a good call.

3.5/5. Shoutout Sweden.

4.5/5. Now THIS is what I call music.

I have a feeling that Vampire Weekend were big fans of this record.

First album that I couldn't listen to on Spotify (thanks Joe Rogan).

I prefer his son's music.

Strong debut for the godfathers of punk but there are some duds here and there. We Will Fall is 7 minutes too long and besides No Fun, side B is a bit lacking.

Loved listening to Eminem in my jr. high days, it feels and sounds as edgy and shocking as it did back in the day. The production is nearly flawless (especially on songs like Stan and The Real Slim Shady). Nearly gave this album 5/5 but I'm reminded of how blatantly homophobic and misogynistic hip hop was (and still is).

Fuck Morrissey, long live Johnny Marr.

4.5/5. According to Patrick Star, to be a man means to acquire a taste for free form jazz. I am a man.

4.5/5. I prefer late stage LSD era Beatles but boy band Beatles still slaps.

Wham bam thank you ma'am!

4.5/5. Listening to this album definitely makes you feel like you're spiralling in a downwards direction, but in a good way. There's a lot of care and attention to detail given to the production and the sampling is in top form, this record really separates itself from all the other 90s alternative rock stuff.

4.5/5

4.5/5. Only QOTSA album that I haven’t listened to yet, amazing.

Ah yes, the American Beatles.

Definitely grew on me over the years. Going from OK Computer to this album felt incredibly jarring, in retrospect it was a cultural reset.

3.5/5

4.5/5. Controversies aside with their lead singer, this record is one of the most important indie rock albums of all time.

3.5/5. Prog rock albums are really damn long.

4.5/5. Amazing contribution to the post-punk revival movement, shoutout Sweden.

3.5/5. Shoutout Edmonton!

4.5/5. Really incredible work, the song transitions flow so seamlessly.

4.5/5. Up until now, the only album that I've listened to by this artist was Pink Moon, which is excellent in its own right. I don't think there's anybody that does melancholy quite as well as Nick Drake.

3.5/5

3.5/5. Who would’ve thought that Chef from South Park was so musically gifted.

Canadian icon, Joni feels like one of those artists who strive to never make the same album twice. Obligatory fuck Joe Rogan.

3.5/5

It's a nice blend of dream pop and indie rock that's not overly conventional yet still palatable to mainstream ears.

4.5/5. If hangxiety was an album. Deep, somber, sometimes funny, and tons of self-reflection. Thundercat does a great job slappin da bass. Little disappointed that Mac Miller's feature was left off the track list.

3.5/5

3.5/5. Proto britpop.

She was a teenager when this was released, really impressive songwriting.

90s indie lo-fi classic, Here is one of the best songs ever written.

3.5/5. Weird but fun listen, interesting lyrics.

4.5/5. Today I learned that Carole King wrote You've Got a Friend AND the Gilmore Girls theme song.

Yes!

Gangsta rap that's loaded with self reflection and vulnerability.

It’s arguably one of the most influential debut albums of all time and gave rock music a much needed revival. Definitely one of my favourites.

This one has been on my list for a long time. Very weird but the combination of Waits' signature snarl, lyrics about the "urban dispossessed" and bold experimentation is a winning formula.

Bit too long but not bad for a bunch of teenagers at the time.

Elvis did his army duty and then had a nice lil comeback, much like the K-pop stars of today.

3.5/5

3.5/5. No way this is a random generator If I’m getting this album on Christmas Day.

3.5/5

The Stones perfected their craft when they decided to ditch the psychedelic sound of the late mid to late 60s for blues and hard rock. I love this record, it is perfect in every way.

3.5/5. Bit too experimental and eccentric for me but it's still respectable.

4.5/5. Never knew this even existed. It's rich in its instrumentation and definitely sounds like a record from the 60s, would've blown everyone's mind back then. Wilson is an incredibly talented musician and I'm just happy that he was able to move on from his past trauma enough to fully realize his vision from decades ago.

Blur ditched their Britpop roots for some indie rock.

Back to back Blur albums, Britpop sound on full display here.
