Virgin Suicides

Air

4/5

Very nice. Reminded me of early Pink Floyd

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Especially Shiver and Yellow.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Great album from the disco era. Produced by Nile Rodgers.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Black Sabbath was still rocking at this point, but the cocaine was kicking in.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

2/5

Not a big fan of Madonna, although I do like a handful of songs. None on this album unfortunately. Big fan of Prince, so I liked his duet with her. I'm rating low because it's not my type of music.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

4/5

I was really surprised by this album. Great guitar and bass. Thoroughly enjoyed.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

2/5

Wow, how did this make anyone's top list? This wouldn't even make my top 50 albums of 80's rap. Not even the collaborating with De La Soul could lift this up past meh. I've seen her perform and she was fantastic, but this album has nothing special on it. I see why she had to go into movies.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

The only thing keeping this from being a perfect record is the stupid alien bit at the beginning. I mean it was probably cool the first time you heard it, but that's it. Then it starts with Up From The Skies, which I always thought is a very underrated song in the Experience catalogue. It just keeps getting better from there. I've always loved this album and it shows Jimi's versatility as a guitarist. The Experience is in top form as well

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

I wants to get funked up

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Such a 70's album.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Great Pumpkins Album. Skip the slow songs

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

3/5

Not bad, but not great

The Yes Album

Yes

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

Not sure how this album made anyone's top list of anything.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Not my favorite Stevie album. Too many slow love songs and ballads

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

I like to call this musicians music. All my musician friends love this because every band member is incredibly skilled. But if you don't know what a pentatonic scale is, it just sounds like smooth jazz.

Boy In Da Corner

Dizzee Rascal

1/5

GREY Area

Little Simz

2/5

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Been a long time since I listened to this all the way through. Just rock solid from A to Z. Killer guitar tone.

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

A truly unique singing voice. Great album to smoke a joint, grab a drink and chill

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

One of the all time greats

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

3/5

Not a George Michael fan, but the first three songs are decent.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

1/5

This doesn't even make my top 1000 albums of 1968

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

Nice. Not thrilling, but nice

American Gothic

David Ackles

1/5

If Billy Joel and Elton John had a baby and then forced him to sing Neil Diamond songs, that would be this album

2112

Rush

4/5

Not my favorite Rush album, but it has some top notch songs.

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

4/5

Cross

Justice

3/5

Not a fan of electronic music. D.A.N.C.E. was a good song tho

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

Really nice

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

3/5

One of the albums that helped launch hip hop. One of the biggest drawbacks of a lot of early hip hop albums is that they are dance albums, so the songs tend to run long for dance purposes. A lot of them would be better songs if they were cut down to 3 - 4 minutes.

Miriam Makeba

3/5

Such a beautiful voice

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Nice album

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

I mean I like Ian Dury, but top 1000? Of all time?

Getz/Gilberto

5/5

This album feels like a summer day with gentle breeze

Kimono My House

One of her bests including the underrated "Why Can't We Live Together"

Reggatta De Blanc

5/5

This band has no bad albums

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

I really liked this

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

At the height of his powers

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

3/5

It's fine for what it is. I guess if you had a head full of molly it's easy to listen to. If you like melodies or bridges or even a drum roll you are out of luck. Sorry, you just get one rhythm for straight minutes

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

2/5

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

1/5

Look you can't like all musical styles, so I expected there would be a few albums I struggled with. But I've been listening to rock my entire life with a particular fondness for 60's rock. Not familiar with the Small Faces, but no the Faces. Anyways the album starts and it's not too bad, I can see why they needed to add Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. Then Happiness Stan came on and I couldn't listen anymore. Get outta here with that Ren Faire, Shire of Frodo reject. Not an album I needed to hear before I die.
