3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

5/5

The definitive Eminem. This album made him a legend.

Pump

Aerosmith

3/5

I have never been an Aerosmith fan. Their songs are earworms to me. It is cool to know where so many of their big hits came from--this album--and hear all the deeper cuts. This album isn't going to make it into my rotation, but it was an almost historical listen.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

4/5

For some reason, Wilco is huge in my hometown. A few Wilco songs grab me, but for the most part, I don't care for the rest of them. After hearing this album, I discovered the origins of some of those Wilco songs. I also did a little Googling to learn more about Woodie Guthrie, who I only know by name. I was impressed at how many songs are on this album and how many cameos there are.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

This is not my style of music, but holy cow, the beats are catchy.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

2/5

I can see why people love Morrissey. I didn't recognize many of these songs, but it had that traditional Morrissey sound.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

One of my all-time faves, no matter how tragic it is. So good, we traveled to Amy Winehouse's local bar in her hometown!

Tidal

Fiona Apple

5/5

One of my top albums of all time. Glad to see it on this list. My wife would argue that my love of Fiona Apple's "Tidal" is a large part of why I married her. Hauntingly beautiful (I think that's the phrase you use to describe Fiona Apple), sexy, and moody all spring to my mind, too, when I need to describe this collection of songs. The amount of effort that goes into the composition is astounding. I guess that's why she's only released a few albums in the 20+ years she's been gracing us with music.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

A classic!

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

I only ever knew Lou Reed by name before, but after exploring this album (and some Googling), I know a lot more of him. So many hits on this album, and then some good deep tracks too. This will be in my rotation for chilling-out music.

Synchronicity

The Police

5/5

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

This is an interesting album. I can see some of these songs easily fitting into a Trainspotting movie or something similar. But it is SOO LONG

Stankonia

OutKast

5/5

What a great rap album. A classic. So many good hits, but also so many deep cuts. On heavy rotation at my parties.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

5/5

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

Frank Ocean. So good.

Common

5/5

I love this album. "Go" is on heavy rotation in my playlist.

Protection

Massive Attack

5/5

Massive Attack. The music of my High School years.

1999

Prince

5/5

Prince is almost my next door neighbor. It's my wife's favorite artist of all time. So yeah, this album rules.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

Signing Off

UB40

2/5

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

Ahh, the sounds of my teenage years.

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Cross

Justice

3/5

Play

Moby

5/5

The sounds of my teenage years. The hits of a generation. This whole album is filled with hits, and the few deep tracks that never really saw the mainstream are bangers. The quintessential Moby here.

Femi Kuti

2/5

Not my music, but it was enjoyable to listen to in the background

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Once again, the sounds of my youth.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Wow, so many instrumental hits here.
