Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 06 2024

Stone cold classic that defined a genre.

War by U2
Sep 09 2024

Joshua Tree is great but this is the moment they became U2.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Sep 10 2024

Not really my cuppa.

Sep 13 2024

This is pretty good and I can hear all the punk bands I like that were obviously highly influenced by DKs.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 16 2024

Did the Pumpkins invent nu metal? This is the missing link between Gen X grunge and Millennial alt rock.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 17 2024

This sounds like it could have been released in 2015 so I’d guess you could call it influential. Not really dinging my bell though. Maybe if it was 1991 and I was on mushrooms in a field with a can of Carling in my hand.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Sep 18 2024

Janis is clearly an icon and has an incredible voice but this band isn't really my thing. If I were on acid in Haight Ashbury in 1967 I'd probably think it was cool.

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 19 2024

I didn’t drink the M.I.A. Kool Aid in 2007 and I ain’t drinking it now.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Sep 23 2024

I can see how this would have influenced artists I like such as Radiohead but not really one I listen to again.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 24 2024

I think this is AF at their best. I still have my tour tee. This set the bar for indie music in the 2010s.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Sep 25 2024

I don't dislike many artists but CS&N just rub me the wrong way. If Neil Young can't make your band better, what does that say about your band?

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Sep 26 2024

I had coffee with Garth Hudson once. I realise The Band are a Big Deal and also HUGE influences on some of my faves like Counting Crows and Whiskeytown but this record just didn't resonate with me.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Sep 27 2024

Surprisingly listenable, even if she does start with a track thanking God for her life and end with a track talking about how shes still dirrty.... This high-concept pop probably paved the way for Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Sep 30 2024

What a debut from one of the GOATs.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Oct 01 2024

This might be Chuck and Flav at their best. Remember when I fistbumped Flav after the Flo Rida show at the MGM in Vegas? Thanks HLTH 2017. Thanks Validar.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Oct 03 2024

I can see why they’re influential to so many.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 09 2024

This is a forever album!!!!!!!!!

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 15 2024

This definitely influenced a zillion bands, inc. QOTSA.

1977 by Ash
Oct 25 2024

Biased because this is one of my seminal rock records/bands but this is a 5 star from track 1.
