There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Sublime funk soul jams

Elvis Presley

3/5

Some fun stuff but the original versions of these songs are mostly way better. Breaking ground doesn't always age well.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Kickass collection of east coast bangers

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

Absolutely tremendous prog epic

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Lovely songs for chilling

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

Funkalicious

Liquid Swords

5/5

Kickass kung-fu masterpiece

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

This is the type of shit I'd try and get up to nonstop if I could live in the 70s for a while

Headquarters

The Monkees

3/5

The train had left the station by this point, and everyone was left standing around munching on the Beatles' dust

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

5/5

Terrific Americana, and it's not even one of their live recordings

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Tremendous, the GOAT

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

4/5

Nice combo of world music and Beatles influence, but it loses a point for the absolute chicanery of panning the entire track all the way to the right on an early song

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

There's plenty from the 2000s whose influence had already vanished by the end of the decade, but the influence of this album will be around for a long, long time

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

This is really weird and fun in the way that only obscure alt rock can be

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

3/5

This album is weird at best and stupid at worst. The fact that this is on the list and Animals isn't is fucking criminal.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Eat your heart out, Elvis

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

3/5

All the original versions of these are way better. This is far less than Otis was capable of

Rip snortin' good time

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

4/5

Perfectly fun psychobilly shock punk, nothing that's still super noteworthy for me but a pretty big bombshell for its time and if I had found it at 14 it would probably have been formative to the point of me being real fucking cringe about it

A Northern Soul

The Verve

4/5

Some cool spacey vibes going on in between the brief interludes of 90s cringe

NEU! 75

Neu!

5/5

Delightful! We love underground basement vibes

Tubular Bells
