London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Not bad, but not awesome either.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

This album achieves a lot with very little instrumentation. Great album, but a bit soft for my taste.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

Good, but not my cup of tea.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Great, but rather chill.

Adele

5/5

Pop, but good. Excellent vocals.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

Sounds a bit like Slynt. Probably better on the third or fifth listen. Still pretty neat.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

4/5

Very nice mix of blues and alternative.

System Of A Down

5/5

It SOAD.

Metallica

4/5

Not the best Metallica album, but it has some bangers nevertheless.

Low

David Bowie

5/5

A bit like early Pink Floyd, but not as weird. Track eight is outstanding.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

3/5

First half isn't particular exciting, but the last few tracks are interesting.

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

Way ahead of its time. Today, there is music I like better, but not much.

The Band

4/5

Hadn't heard of them for some reason; will listen to more of their music. Very coherent album, and a bop.

New York Dolls

4/5

Pretty, good. Will probably listen again.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Really good. Personally, I like it better than Abby Road.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

Very varied. Has content.

Spiderland

Slint

5/5

Really grows on you after a few spins. Kinda wacky, but not random.

1989

Taylor Swift

3/5

Bunch of classics on this one. Very pleasant to listen to, but not really my thing.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

Nice and chill. Very enjoyable. For the most part not too special though.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

3/5

False advertisement. They did not scream. Was all right though, pretty chill.

Drunk

Thundercat

4/5

Not what I usually listen to, but I like it.

Wild Gift

5/5

Punk, but the band has skill.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

Not entirely sure why some regard this as the best album. Still a good listen though.

Paul Simon

4/5

Very nice. Chill, but not boring.

The Modern Lovers

3/5

Nothing fancy, but nice instrumentals. Not the greatest fan of the vocals.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

Definitely some substance there. To fully appreciate this one, I'll need to hear it more though. Might be a five in the future.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Son of a Preacher Man slaps. The rest is good, but not really my taste.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Had only heard the Peter Gabriel cover of My Body Is a Cage before, but this is pretty good too.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Gets better towards the end. Overall very enjoyable.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Some nice heavy metal. But I can't help comparing it with Iron Maiden, and I like them better than Judas Priest.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Pretty nice vocals, the instrumentals felt a bit synthetic sometimes.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

5/5

Slaps. Has some funky rhythms. Conveys the message and the emotions behind it really well.

Common

3/5

Pretty enjoyable, although not what I usually listen to.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

5/5

Truly, one of the albums of all times.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

2/5

Sounds a bit like 100 gecs, but it doesn't really convince me. I don't find the synthetic sounds very pleasant to listen to, and the music isn't particularly interesting structurally either.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

A bit too slow and chill for my taste, but otherwise good.

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

Very enjoyable, but not a personal favorite.

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

4/5

I'm usually not much into music like this, but I can vibe with this album very well. Especially the vocals are done skillfully and have me bopping my head a lot.

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

4/5

Very pleasant and relaxing. Not too interesting though, but maybe that's because I didn't pay enough attention.

Being There

Wilco

4/5

As usual, I'm not the greatest fan of alternative, but country is nice. Personal opinions aside, the musicians are very skilled and the compositions aren't lacking either.

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

Really good. The vocals are great, and it's very pleasant to listen to. But I'm missing a little edge here and there. Maybe I need to listen a few more times to really appreciate this.

Caetano Veloso

4/5

Very much unlike what I usually listen to, but very interesting nevertheless. I like the fact that he threw in an Ave Maria as well. Certainly enjoyable to listen to.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

4/5

Some classic pop, but especially the last track is also a bit more serious. All in all, very nice.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I had some complaints about Frank, but they don't apply to this album at all. Very enjoyable, especially the vocals.

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Some nice chill music. Reminds me of the Neon Genesis Evangelion OST a lot. Overall not really outstanding though.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

3/5

Generally a bop. I feel like alternative rock takes inspiration from this to this day, so it definitely seems influential. Personally, I'm not too much into alternative, but I certainly don't mind listening to this.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

4/5

A very fun album. It's not particular edgy, but not very uninspired either.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Some nice rock, definitely easy on the ears. However, I prefer something that goes a little harder.

Pink Flag

Wire

4/5

With punk I often feel like the entire album is a lot of the same, but not with this one. Many of the tracks are very short, but it's a very fun album.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

5/5

Some very nice compositions and skilled players. But what really sold me on this one is the vocals; they're an excellent fit for folk rock, remind me a bit of Comus.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

I didn't understand much of the dialogue, which I imagine is pretty important too. The music itself is great though; pretty diverse with a bunch of rap but also a guitar solo here and there.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

Big iron on his hip! The other songs are pretty good too.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

2/5

Very creative and innovative, especially for their time, so it certainly deserves its spot on the list. But personally, I don't enjoy the music too much. The nonsense tracks aren't particularly fun either.

S&M

Metallica

3/5

It's refreshing to hear the classic songs played differently. While it's certainly interesting, I don't think Metallica's music profits too much from an orchestra.

Orbital 2

Orbital

3/5

For Techno, this is really good. But it's still techno, so no vocals and a rather lifeless sound.

White Ladder

David Gray

3/5

Very pleasant and good. But on the other hand not particularly unique.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Goes surprisingly hard, very nice.
