Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

This album took me somewhere. Soulful and deep. Grateful that it was my first album of this challenge.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

4/5

I don't know if I've ever truly sat down and listened to Billie Holiday. Of course I know the name and probably some songs, but never consciously have I sat down and listened to her. I can't stop looking at the album cover--I can picture it on vinyl. I can close my eyes and disappear into a different period of time. I also, can't help but think about what her life as a Black woman must have been like in 1958 when the album was released.

The Slider

T. Rex

3/5

Feels very much like the classic rock I'm assuming it to be. Enjoyed it, but probably don't need to listen again. Did add one song to a playlist.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

5/5

What a wonderful album.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

4/5

When this one popped up I was a little bummed. Apparently I had a specific image of Alice Cooper. I truly enjoyed this album.

Illmatic

Nas

4/5

This album let me be someone else for a while. I'm sure that wasn't the intent.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Very nostalgic of "oldies" that I've listened to. Never heard of her though. Different times I know, but girl sing about something other than men.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

5/5

So peculiar. I kept thinking that I didn't like it, but then I REALLY did like it. I will absolutely listen to it again. It took me somewhere else.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

Maybe not something I would have listened to without this challenge, but there were parts that I really enjoyed.

Chris

Christine and the Queens

4/5

I love that she sings in multiple languages. Really enjoyed this album.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

A lot of feels. I feel as though I can feel what he does in this album. I do appreciate raps close ties to poetry.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

I enjoyed this album. I didn't love it, but I enjoyed it.

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

4/5

Protection

Massive Attack

5/5

I LOVED this album from the moment it began all the way to the end.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

Fever Ray

5/5

Loved this album! I wasn't expecting the Vikings theme song to kick off an album on this list, but it is a good song...you never know.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

Such an iconic start to an album--lets see where it goes--like how much do I know? Obviously I know AC/DC. There are moments when it sounds like riot grrl to me--I guess that's kind of a backwards way to look at it. I ended up not recognizing a lot of it, but I did enjoy the album.

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

I didn't know what to expect with this album at all. The first song I thought, "this sounds a lot like Santana, was Santana considered blues?"...its because Santana collaborated on the song. Great album.

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

I’ve tried to listen to Björk before. I always thought I’d like her because she is unique. Traditionally I feel like she is just “too weird” for me. But this album was palatable. I would absolutely listen again.

Play

Moby

4/5

This might be the first album in this challenge that I have actually sat down and listened to in its entirety.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this...obviously I know the name Stevie Wonder and I recognized a few songs.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

5/5

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

I had heard of Purple Rain and Prince...because I live on this planet, but i had *never* listened to the album and I think I only knew one song (When Doves Cry). Super enjoyable.

Roxy Music

2/5

Rocky Horror vibes. Wouldn’t listen again though. I liked some of it, but there were songs that I wanted to skip a bad!

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

4/5

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Love this album, of course. I forgot how much I liked some of the songs.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

I enjoyed it. Knew one song.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

5/5

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

1/5

Couldn’t even get through it.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

Didn’t love this album at all.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Absolute classic.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

I like his unique voice. I am also interested in the way it kinda has, like, ska undertones (I'm guessing before ska was really a thing?) I can't think of a mood or situation where I'd opt to listen to this, but I enjoyed it all the same. Also, who doesn't love "Come One Eileen"?
