2/5

It was fine, would give 2.5 but closer to a two

The La's

3/5

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

I would say closer to a 4 than a 3, but somewhere in there, I would say that I was more impressed with the back half than anything, I felt like they experimented a little more after sweet dreams. Can't argue with a hit like that though, great track.

The Blueprint

JAY Z

3/5

Solid flows, a lot of good beats, kinda boring at times though. No song on here comes close to shook ones, and the album is no illmatic, so not sure I would say takeover really hits home.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

3/5

Cool album, would give it a 3.5ish I think. I am sure it was groundbreaking in 1974

1989

Taylor Swift

1/5

Shake it off is a good song. Everything else felt boring. My personal opinion but compared to her modern female pop star peers, she is kinda the lowest common denominator.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

White Light

Gene Clark

2/5

Liked the first couple songs, dried up though towards the end.

3/5

Holy cow so many Spotify streams! I had no idea how wildly popular this album was. Fun listen.

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Between a 3 and a 4, closer to a 4 imo.

Pump

Aerosmith

1/5

Aerosmith? More like Aero whiff. Not my favorite. Seeing a trend where a lot of these albums have like one big song on it that outshine the rest of the album, which is not necessarily what I think of when I think of the best albums of all time. I guess 1001 is a lot of albums so I guess some of them are just carried by a song or two.

Kanye West

4/5

This album changed the game. That being said, idk if I can really listen to Kanye anymore, at least at the moment. Also we have had 4 Kanye albums and at the same time rap seems to be underrepresented....
