"I'm light-skinned, I live in Queens, and I love eatin' chicken and collard greens." Damn...

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Late 2000s indie classic. Karen O is an all-time great frontwoman. Album cover made me hungry.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

This was an artist at the peak of her powers and fully conscious of it. It's dense, but everything feels like it fits. And the hooks are tight despite how fluid her songwriting can be. I could listen ten more times and keep finding new things I love. Best album from this list so far.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

This album contains some of Gaye's most personal and heartfelt lyrics. It's a shame the music is so comparatively underwhelming. Still, it's worthwhile as a snapshot of a tumultuous moment in Gaye's life and career.

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

4/5

This album doesn't sound fully realized, nor does it feel completely serious. But it's dark, immersive, irreverent, and probably inspired your favorite 90s band. Nothing to sneeze at, once you get over the weirdness.

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

A master at work.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

A really unique, memorable album that has already proven quite influential

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

This album bridges the Beach Boys' early and later stages. The first half is youthful and upbeat, while the second is slow, anxious, and contemplative, foreshadowing the loss of innocence depicted on Pet Sounds. Overall, the individual songs don't feel like the band's strongest, but the album shows Brian Wilson moving in a more introspective, experimental direction.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

2/5

"Dirty Work" is fine song. But I really do not like Steely Dan.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

They have a unique sound. But this album could use some trimming.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

5/5

One of the first concept albums, and one of my personal favorites. Perfect for those late, lonely nights.

Truth

Jeff Beck

3/5

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

4/5

Good Thanksgiving music

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

It's like shoegaze in that I cannot understand the words.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

4/5

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

They were obviously inspired by Neutral Milk Hotel. But this music doesn't have the same intensity; it feels a bit watered down, and its enormous influence on 2000s indie music is somewhat of a tragedy. Still, there are some great moments, most notably "In the Backseat."

Toys In The Attic

Manic Street Preachers

1/5

I simply don't like this band. Turned it off halfway through and listened to Nas instead.

The Atomic Mr Basie

The best ES album. XO can suck my dick

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

Nice

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

I see why Janis Joplin is highly regarded as a performer. There is a lot of raw humanity in these vocals. However, the 70s blues rock sound is very boring to me.

1984

Van Halen

Some great songs here. And this is some of EVH'S most focused guitar playing.
