Incubus

5/5

First Incubus album I owned, and probably still their best, even though I’m partial to S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Three songs already liked from the album (Even Flow, Alive and Jeremy) added Once, Black and Porch. All other songs weren’t bad, no disappointments

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Two songs already liked on Spotify before listening (Scar Tissue and Californication). Know a few will be liked for sure, like Around the World, Parallel Universe, Otherside and Get on Top. Feels like after the first 6 songs the rest of the album is a write off (except Road Trippin’) Purple Stain would have been better as an instrumental Disliked: Right on Time Hated: I Like Dirt Great band with a terrible frontman

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Not really listened to much Elliot Smith in the past, he’s one of those artist I keep meaning to check out. No Spotify likes previously on this album. Didn’t think I’d have be contemplating Søren Kierkegaard on the weekend. Liked: Speed Trials, Alamada, Ballard of Big Nothing, Between the Bars,

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

Mostly a covers album but Cash’s vocals really give these songs a really different feel to them. Love his cover of Hurt and Personal Jesus and the original song The Man Comes Around

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

I didn’t expect to enjoy this one, at first I thought his style was too monotonous but I really vibed out with this one

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

5/5

The first real masterpiece I’ve discovered on this list.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

3/5

I never really understood the appeal of The Hives (and The Strokes) but there are some catchy songs here

Skylarking

XTC

3/5

Stylish but the only read stand out for me was Dear God

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

War Dogs is such a great song. I also like Paranoid and Iron Man, but not sure if I've heard the rest of the album before. Musically; this is a great album, I probably would prefer listening to this album without Ozzy singing, and just enjoy the music.

S&M

Metallica

5/5

Amazing album, the only Metallica album I still listen to.

Make Yourself

Incubus

5/5

First Incubus album I owned, and probably still their best, even though I’m partial to S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

4/5

Why Tainted Love is by far the standout from this album/band, this was a great listening experience.

3/5

Let It Bleed

2/5

Not a fan of the blues style here.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

3/5

I like the political messaging but not a big fan of 80's Punk

Foo Fighters

4/5

The back story of this album is heartbreaking, but Foo Fighters went on to be just as big as Nirvana.

Medúlla

Björk

4/5

I really need to listen to some more trip-hop, it is aesthetically pleasing to my ears

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Wild World and Father and Son are truly iconic songs, Cat Stevens created a beautiful album that is still well worth listening to.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

All the Way from Memphis is the only stand out song here.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

3/5

I like the rockability nature of these punk songs.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

3/5

great voice and songwriter, but not a fan of the style

Vespertine

I have the album Medúlla generated for me very recently, so can't tell if it is fatigue from Björk music or if that other album was better.

Microshift

Hookworms

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

3/5

funky background muzak

Elvis Presley

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

3/5

Drunk

Thundercat

4/5

Oh my god that's some funky shit!

Suede

3/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

2/5

It's not Christmas time, so feels weird to listen to Christmas songs

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

3/5

Iconic band, but I think I need to smoke whatever they are smoking

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

2/5

At times Cornershop sounds like Eels and I'd rather listen to them. Also prefer the Norman Cook remix of Brimful of Asha more than the original

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

2/5

Not a fan of Cheap Trick, they have one good song, I don't care about a live performance.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

3/5

Nothing against Britney, plus there are some iconic songs on this album, but Max Martin doesn't write good lyrics, catchy songs yes, but those lyrics are cringe.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

Paul Simon

2/5

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

3/5

Not really a Devo fan, but Uncontrollable Urge and their cover of (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction were the standouts.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Not my thing, but not a bad album

Os Mutantes

3/5

Would enjoy this more if I was high

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

3/5

I like the instrumental tracks, but don't think Paul Weller's vocals did this any justice.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

She is iconic but not found any country music I liked...also WTF was Traveling Man

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

Iconic singer, Blueberry Hill the obvious hit from the album

Parklife

Blur

3/5

I never really got into Blur, I think Parklife and Girls & Boys are decent songs, but not for me.

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Great album, even if I had to search elsewhere for it because it's not on Spotify.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Dusty has a great voice, her cover of Lesley Gore's You Don't Own Me is good, but a little too stripped back to what I want from that song.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

2/5

I'm not into the 80's New Wave screen, it all feels too much the same.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

There isn't much of the hits from Fleetwood Mac here

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

This album was so smooth

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

I'm not high enough for this

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

2/5

Should have just listened to Lynyrd Skynyrd

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Not really a big fan of hip-hop, but I have to appreciate an album like this, it was a landmark piece that pathed the way for the 'Gangsta rap' scene in the 90s

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

I like Prince's voice but can't say any of these songs stood out to me.

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Great singer, but all songs felt too much the same

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

3/5

Not something I would relisten to

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

If you told me this album came out in the 80's I would assume you were lying. For an album released in 1988 this has an iconic 90's sound.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

Iconic album

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

2/5

Pretty sure I don't like country, this didn't prove me wrong.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

This would have been a spectacular concert.

Sound Affects

The Jam

3/5

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

4/5

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is a far superior album

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

3/5

Steely Dan singer attempts a Jazz album

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

3/5

Peter Gabriel

4/5

I only knew Solsbury Hill from this album but such a cinematic (is that the right word?) album

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Great hip-hop album

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

3/5

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

2/5

Arise

Sepultura

3/5

It's that weird period between their Thrash metal/death metal style to their industrial style which I prefer,

The La's

3/5

There She Goes is a hit. While I like the style (it felt like a blend of 80's synth pop and 90's butt rock), not much on this album stood out.

Raw Power

The Stooges

2/5

Search and Destroy is the only song I enjoyed

Country Life

Roxy Music

3/5

I really liked The Thrill of It All, the rest of the album was okay.

Debut

Björk

4/5

This is probably one of the best albums from Björk

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

Great blues album for a Friday afternoon

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

4/5

Great ambient music

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

3/5

I feel like the style of songs were far too similar, but a decent 90's R&B album

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

jazzy album

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Beautifully depressing album.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Much like A Girl Called Dusty, this is a good album, plus it has the iconic Son of A Preacher Man on it.

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Is this the most recent album on this list? I'm surprised to see it on this list. A great indie folk album.

The Doors

4/5

Scott 2

Scott Walker

2/5

I like the orchestral aesthetic, I just didn't love any of these songs. The songs all felt far too similar to all the other songs.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

3/5
