Popular Reviews
White Denim
5/5
Never heard of this band but loved this album. Great combination of so many different genres coupled with great guitar, bass, drums, and flute(!). The rhythm section, especially the drums are a huge standout to me. Really struggled to pick one for the playlist because I liked it all so much!

Supergrass
2/5
The editor of this list was definitely a British teenager in the ‘90s because there is entirely too much Britpop on this. Like this is fine but not spectacular by any means. At least it was better than The Charlatans.

Run-D.M.C.
4/5
To modern ears this album will sound dated but it is because of this album and what Run-D.M.C. helped usher in that we feel that way.

Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
This feels so classic and so fresh all at the same time! His voice is so beautiful and warm and the instrumentation is so full. I love seeing stuff on here that is more recent.

Politically charged early 90s hip hop. Chuck D and Flava Flav are excellent MCs.

Frank Zappa
4/5
Frank Zappa is one of those artists who for whatever reason intimidates me. This was my first real experience with his music and it was a good one. He is an excellent guitarist and this is a great album to put on in the background and vibe to.
Electric Light Orchestra
3/5
This album is just so long. Mr. Blue Sky is a classic but the rest is hard to listen to for so long.
Steely Dan
4/5
The name of this band always makes me think that it’s music meant for my Dad. I like it though and think it has really cool musical moments. Really liked “The Boston Rag.”
The Clash
4/5
Iconic and important album in the history of punk but gets a bit repetitive at times. I get why it should be listened to but not going to be one I listen to regularly.
The Beach Boys
5/5
Fantastic album. I love the instrumentation and harmonies. Absolutely iconic.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
5/5
Very pleasantly surprised by this album. I know Bob Marley is iconic but this was the perfect accompaniment for a drive to work in May. Love the vibe and groove of the album. Singles are iconic but everything else was great too!
Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Bruce is so cool. The instrumentation throughout combined with the vocals gives it such an epic feel. Loved it!
System Of A Down
3/5
If I was going to choose a System of a Down album to recommend to somebody I would pick Toxicity over this. I do enjoy it, but a lot of that comes down to my nostalgia sneaking in. I have always liked how System of a Down always includes a message in their songs and I’m glad to see Serj has been bizarre since the very beginning.
Steve Earle
3/5
Solid ‘80s country album but nothing really blew me away. I enjoyed the storytelling quality of the lyrics but a lot of the album runs together after a listen.
T. Rex
3/5
Not a bad album but nothing really caught my attention for any length of time. The only track that really popped for me was Bang a Gong, but probably only because I knew it. It’s got a nice groove but I didn’t love any of the instrumentation on this record. Maybe it’s more important to music than good.
Nick Drake
5/5
I’ve never heard of Nick Drake before I listened to this album this morning and I was blown away. Exceptional lyricism, haunting vocals, and beautiful instrumentals to back it all up. Excellent record!
a-ha
2/5
This album starts off with one of the most famous songs of the ‘80s “Take on Me”. I don’t think I had ever heard any other A-ha songs besides that before this listen. The album had some great songs. Some of my favorites were “Hunting High and Low” and “The Sun Always Shines on TV”. The more that was going on in the song the more interested I was in it. With that being said some of the other songs just didn’t do it for me and were a bit of a slog to get through.
White Denim
5/5
Never heard of this band but loved this album. Great combination of so many different genres coupled with great guitar, bass, drums, and flute(!). The rhythm section, especially the drums are a huge standout to me. Really struggled to pick one for the playlist because I liked it all so much!
Amy Winehouse
4/5
Hard to compete with her more famous Back to Black, but even at this point in her career Winehouse’s vocals are excellent.
The Charlatans
2/5
This feels like an album I had to be there for when it came out in 1996. Nothing really stood out for me here. Vocal delivery after a while got a little bit tiring. Musically there were some good spots but a lot of unmemorable songs for me.
Robert Wyatt
1/5
Really just not for me. Can’t think of much I enjoyed.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
I mean it’s CCR. Fogerty’s vocals are soulful as ever and I love the straight up swampy feel to the songs. Such an iconic record of the Late ‘60s.
Supergrass
2/5
The editor of this list was definitely a British teenager in the ‘90s because there is entirely too much Britpop on this. Like this is fine but not spectacular by any means. At least it was better than The Charlatans.
Shivkumar Sharma
4/5
Very influential to so much other music and I really loved the instrumentation. Beautifully done! Very pleased that this album was on this list because I would have never stumbled upon it otherwise.
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Perfect album! Great representation of ‘90s alt-rock. There’s a reason the Smashing Pumpkins are still so revered. The music is epic and the lyrics/vocals are haunting.
George Harrison
3/5
Came in expecting to give this album 5 stars. It is good but it is just so long that it was kind of challenging to get entirely through.
Sheryl Crow
4/5
Solid early ‘90s singer-songwriter album. Excellent to listen to while driving around on a summer day.
The Stone Roses
5/5
Great late ‘80s rock. Still got that nice ‘80s vibe while giving a look towards the future music coming in the ‘90s.
Harry Nilsson
4/5
Excellent early 70s rock album. Definitely see how he could be called the American Beatle. Most songs are great but really love “Gotta Get Up,” “Coconut,” and “Without You.”
The Kinks
2/5
Perfectly serviceable mid 1960s album. Nothing mind-blowing or anything but easy to listen to while doing other stuff. I would rather listen to some of their contemporaries before listening to this again.
Anthrax
3/5
Good early Thrash Metal. Of all of the Big 4 bands this is the one I listen to the least. Not bad but I would listen to Metallica if I’m feeling like listening to Thrash Metal.
Violent Femmes
5/5
This was an amazing album! I didn’t realize how many Violent Femmes songs I already loved. Great vocals and vibe to this record.
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
An excellent reggae drive through Maine.
Public Enemy
4/5
Politically charged early 90s hip hop. Chuck D and Flava Flav are excellent MCs.
The Rolling Stones
3/5
I have always had such a tough time connecting with The Rolling Stones and this album hasn’t changed that.
JAY Z
3/5
Pretty good New York Rap album. Just drags a bit of especially towards the end.
The National
4/5
Interesting listen while driving through Pennsylvania Amish Country. I love the lead vocalists baritone vocals.
Depeche Mode
4/5
Ominous and haunting vocals. Awesome synths.
Rush
5/5
Kind of hard to separate myself from how much Rush I’ve heard and trying to listen to this with fresh ears. In the end, Rush is awesome.
Metallica
5/5
If you are gonna listen to thrash this is the album for you.
Sonic Youth
2/5
My friend Goo goes, “Sonic Youth is poo.”
The Doors
5/5
Excellent lyrical songwriting and love Morrison’s voice.
Daft Punk
3/5
I’m immediately much less forgiving of albums when they are so long. I love Daft Punk but this is far from their best work. It gets very repetitive after listening for a while.
Talking Heads
5/5
Excellent album! Feels very ahead of it’s time. Love the vocals and the instrumentation.
The Darkness
4/5
This is such a goofy tribute to glam rock of the past. It’s so hard to take completely seriously but is awesome at the same time. Sometimes the vocals can be grating but that’s kind of the point and at the same time it they are really good. What a strange but brilliant record.
Gene Clark
2/5
Just straight up kind of boring. Nothing stands out here really. Not bad just not memorable. Didn’t realize how many of these guys were floating around in the 60s and 70s.
Dead Kennedys
5/5
One of my favorite Punk Bands. Great variety for a Punk record and surprisingly dark lyrics. Can actually tell a difference between the songs!
Franz Ferdinand
4/5
This album made me read multiple articles about “Landfill Indie.” After much reading, I’ve determined Franz Ferdinand is not “Landfill Indie.” I feel like in the US all this band is known for is “Take Me Out” which I’m kind of tired of hearing but they have a lot more to offer and I’m glad I got to listen to it.
Willie Nelson
5/5
Willie Nelson has such an amazing and authentic voice. This is an album that just felt like a warm hug while listening to it. Not traditional Willie but that makes it all the more fun.
Pink Floyd
5/5
I wasn’t super excited to listen to this one but I was hooked immediately. I loved the narrative and really enjoyed the overall feel of the record.
Deep Purple
3/5
Perfectly fine to mow my grass while listening.
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
3/5
Such a bizarre album. Took me a minute to get what was going on but by the midway point I was entertained.
R.E.M.
4/5
Really enjoy Stipe’s voice and the jangly guitars. Just a bit repetitive at times and not my favorite record by them.
Joni Mitchell
5/5
I looooooove 1960s and 1970s mellow singer songwriter stuff and Joni Mitchell is no exception. Such a beautiful voice!
Badly Drawn Boy
2/5
Kind of wish this was just 35 minutes of Bewilderbeast.
Sebadoh
2/5
Very disjointed listen. You can tell this is three artists with three distinct styles and it just never flows from one track to the next.
Simon & Garfunkel
5/5
So many iconic tracks on this album! Love the beautiful harmonies these guys had while singing.
Elvis Presley
4/5
First studio album by the King of Rock and Roll. Obviously Elvis is and always will be iconic. Good record but a little disjointed due to it being compiled from a bunch of different recording sessions.
Jimmy Smith
4/5
I never feel qualified to talk about jazz. However, I do know that Jimmy Smith is a great organist!
Nas
5/5
Wonderful album with excellent lyrics and awesome beats to back them up!
Tracy Chapman
5/5
Excellent songwriting with very political lyrics. Unfortunately many of her themes from 1988 are still relevant today.
Nanci Griffith
4/5
Really love the storytelling in the lyrics and her voice is soothing and beautifully tells the stories of the songs.
The Undertones
2/5
Nothing that is going to blow anybody away but I do appreciate that the lyrics are more fun than you normally get on a punk record from this period.
Hugh Masekela
4/5
Excellent album with great playing from all members involved. I am so happy to be exploring more jazz with this project.
The Young Rascals
2/5
I have a hard time seeing this as being an essential album. Perfectly listenable but there are so many other artists that have made so much more interesting music.
Soft Cell
2/5
This album is so horny it almost made me blush. Never would have expected a song called Sex Dwarf on an album from 1981. Really only need to listen to Tainted Love. His voice is excellent but the lyrics not so much.
Dr. John
3/5
Unique album. Not sure what I expected. Fun listen but not an album you would listen to everyday.
David Bowie
5/5
Unique album. Not sure what I expected. Fun listen but not an album you would listen to everyday.
Janelle Monáe
5/5
Ambitious debut album from Janelle Monáe. Such a wonderfully eclectic mix of music. I don’t normally like albums going over the hour mark but this one made use of all that time without ever getting stale.
Baaba Maal
2/5
I appreciate it for what it is but it just isn’t quite for me. There is some fun guitar work but the vocals are just droning for me and the whole thing gets repetitive after a while.
The White Stripes
5/5
I’m a simple man. I see The White Stripes I give 5 stars.
Joy Division
3/5
Haunting album when you have the context behind it. Not going to be something I listen to on repeat but not bad.
Sonic Youth
3/5
This Sonic Youth album is less poo than Goo.
John Coltrane
5/5
It is obvious from listening to this that it is a spiritual experience for Coltrane. I love that all four members of the quartet get their chance to show off their musicianship on this album.
Count Basie & His Orchestra
4/5
Fun album with a classic 50s feel. Takes you back in time when you listen to it.
The Waterboys
3/5
Fun album but a bit long in parts. I like the fusion of different styles of music but I can’t help but feel like it’s been done better before.
Nirvana
5/5
Honestly it wouldn’t take much to convince me this is the best Nirvana release there ever was. Kurt’s voice has just the right amount of whine in it and the banter between songs is fun. Very powerful performance on “Where Did You Sleep Last Night.”
Depeche Mode
4/5
Almost think I preferred this album to Violator. Excellent vocals and great sound overall.
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
To modern ears this album will sound dated but it is because of this album and what Run-D.M.C. helped usher in that we feel that way.
The Band
5/5
Absolutely love this album! You can’t beat a band that has three vocalists who all have an excellent and distinctive style. Everybody is firing on all cylinders instrumentally and they blend so many different genres together.
Missy Elliott
3/5
I can’t put my finger on it but something about this album just didn’t hit me the right way. It just feels kind of dated for some reason. Got some good songs but not what I expected.
Radiohead
3/5
Kind of wish I got one of the earlier Radiohead albums that are on the list. This was a good listen but I still feel like no am missing something with Radiohead. Critics act like they are they greatest band that has ever existed and I’m just not there.
CHIC
3/5
Musically this album is fantastic. The issue lies in the fact that they lead off with “Good Times” and then struggle to reach those highs again.
Donovan
3/5
Fun ‘60s psychedelic record. Some songs are more memorable than others.
Jerry Lee Lewis
4/5
The more I listen to live albums the more I appreciate them. The energy on this is electric.
The Kinks
2/5
Didn’t love The Kinks the first time and I still don’t love them now. They are just so middling compared to what else was happening in the genre in 1967.
The Young Gods
1/5
My second one star album. I feel like this album was created by the CIA so they can use it to torture prisoners. Straight up painful to listen to.
Mariah Carey
3/5
Mariah Carey has one of the best voices in the business. The biggest problem with this album today is the dated sound of it all.
Beatles
5/5
This album kicked off the best run of Beatles albums. Psychedelia and folk influences fuse together on a bunch of great songs.
CHIC
3/5
My second Chic album in a week! Still just as fun as Risqué. Excellent instrumentation and smooth delivery. Absolutely love “I Want Your Love” especially the bells throughout it. Nothing really offensive here but not going to blow any minds either.
Michael Kiwanuka
5/5
This feels so classic and so fresh all at the same time! His voice is so beautiful and warm and the instrumentation is so full. I love seeing stuff on here that is more recent.
Deep Purple
4/5
For whatever reason I enjoyed this album so much more than Deep Purple in Rock. Machine Head definitely has more memorable songs and sounds exactly how you expect it to if you are familiar with “Smoke on the Water.”
The Verve
2/5
The white bread of albums. Just so unbelievably inoffensive. The amount of Britpop on this list is one of the worst parts of the experience so far. I’m deducting 1 point from this album because of the ridiculous length of it all. Every song is longer than it needs to be which leads to the entire album being longer than it needs to be.
Motörhead
4/5
One of those albums that was beyond influential on so many artists. The music is fast and hard and Lemmy sounds like he smoked tons of cigarettes right before recording. One negative note I have for the album is: WTF is up with “Jailbait.”
John Lee Hooker
4/5
I’m glad an artist like John Lee Hooker is on this list. I’m sure this could be considered a safe choice based on the more popular artists who appear on it but if that’s what it takes to get the blues recognized than I’m fine with it. Hooker is the classic blues man who never got the respect that he deserved at his peak and I’m happy he achieved that recognition with this album.
Radiohead
4/5
A Radiohead album that finally connected with me! Not sure what I liked about this one that I didn’t like about In Rainbows. Maybe it’s the electronic elements. Maybe I need to give In Rainbows another listen.
Terence Trent D'Arby
4/5
It would be interesting to see where this guy could be if his ego hadn’t gotten the best of him. Unique voice and a lot of great songs.
Aerosmith
4/5
For some reason I seem to have a low tolerance for Aerosmith. It is probably because of the over abundance of their music on classic rock radio. But when I try to listen to this out of context it’s an awesome and apparently very influential 70s rocker. I like it!
Carole King
5/5
So many songs on this album have stood the test of time and are classics today. Carole King is an excellent singer-songwriter who had such a large influence on the genre!
Frank Sinatra
3/5
Sinatra has such a classic voice. It makes me feel nostalgic for a time that I wasn’t even born during. I’m sure this isn’t his best album but I do love the collab with Jobim. I just wish there was a bit more dueting between the two.
Wilco
2/5
It is so rare for me to hear a double album and be excited. Most of the time there is no reason for the album to be as long as it is. This is an example of that. Choose the best songs and go with it.
The Divine Comedy
4/5
Started this and thought I was going to hate it but it grew on me. Maybe part of me is being kind to this because I’m still recovering from the 80 minute Wilco album from yesterday. This is a unique album which makes it hard to compare to anything else. The theatrical orchestral music is what really saves this one for me. If the music was more traditional rock it wouldn’t have the same effect.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
The first and last thing you notice is the vocals. They go from being harsh one second to smooth the next. Without Karen O there is no Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I think mileage may vary in this one. Musically I think the band provides good support to Karen O. The pace is frantic and hits hard.
Isaac Hayes
3/5
This is an excellent film score but I just don’t know if it belongs on this list. Most of it just feels like background music which is the entire purpose of it as a score, but does not lead to very many memorable moments.
Baaba Maal
3/5
I’m shocked to see this artist on the list again. Kind of seems lazy on the part of the editor to include the same African artist twice with how little representation that continent has on this list so far. With that being said, I like this album quite a bit more than I liked the first album from this artist. This album just feels more accessible to me for some reason. Still not for me but I can appreciate it for what it is.
5/5
The Beatles go full psychedelic. Probably my most listened to and favorite Beatles albums.
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
An album that sounds ahead of it’s time. It is easy to draw from he line from this album to what was for in the 90s Grunge scene. Music is hard-hitting and sludgy. My only complaint is the vocals get lost in the mix.
Throwing Muses
3/5
This was by far the hardest album to find on this list. Nowhere at all on Spotify or Apple Music so I had to look up each song individually on YouTube. I did enjoy the album but what a pain.
5/5
After looking at the other reviews it seems like it is not cool to like Muse, but I think this is very strong album. Love the vocals and the spacey feel of it all. It’s got a lot of songs on here that really hit in the right spots.
Louis Prima
5/5
Just plain fun, joyous music. The vocals are great and the band is swinging!
Grateful Dead
2/5
I want to understand the Grateful Dead but I just haven’t figured it out yet. I hoped this album would help me but no such luck. The musicianship is hard to argue with but it is impossible for me to figure out why a song like Dark Star really has to be over 20 minutes. It was hard to pick what song to put on the playlist because they are all kind of interchangeable so I just went with the shortest one because o know I’m not going to want to listen to a song that is 15 minutes very often.
Eagles
4/5
Pure Dad Rock and I’m here for it. The vocals are great from all contributors and it’s impossible not to say the music isn’t great as well. The first half is full of energy that gets kind of lost with the more ballad-focused second half.
Added to the playlist: Life in the Fast Lane
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
Folk bliss! The boys have some of the best harmonies you’ll ever hear. Not their best album but I still love it.
Added to playlist: Patterns
Radiohead
5/5
I think this is the album that finally made me get Radiohead. There is definitely something special going on with this album but it is so hard to put my finger on what it is. There is so much depth throughout this album that I know with continued listens it will only continue to get better.
Added to playlist: Karma Police
Radiohead
5/5
How is it possible I received this the day after Ok Computer? The list is really trying to make me like Radiohead and I think it has done it for me. This is of course much more straightforward than Ok Computer but is an excellent alt rock album. It is truly ahead of its time and while doing this list I’ve discovered I really hate 90s British rock but this doesn’t feel like that at all.
Added to playlist: The Bends in a tight race with High and Dry
The Lemonheads
3/5
Standard 90s rock. I didn’t hate it but it was all kind of samey after a while. Decent for what it is but that’s about it.
Added to playlist: It’s A Shame About Ray
Lou Reed
4/5
Bizarre but fun album. Lou Reed just did his thing and didn’t care what others thought. Great collaborators as well.
Added to playlist: Walk on the Wild Side
Boards of Canada
3/5
Nice 90s electronic music to vibe too. My issue with it is nothing really stands out. I would have a hard time telling which song is which. Struggles to stand up next to its contemporaries.
Added to playlist: Roygbiv
Pulp
4/5
Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I feel like I’ve been inundated with 90s rock on this list for about a week but this isn’t bad. I enjoy his voice. The only issue for me is length.
Added to playlist: Sylvia
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
I love the Smashing Pumpkins but damn is this a long album. There wasn’t really any part of it that I disliked but the length makes it an unlikely record for me to come back to again and again.
Added to playlist: Bullet With Butterfly Wings
Quicksilver Messenger Service
3/5
I’m really just not in love with jam band stuff. The musicianship is good on this album but it never feels like it goes anywhere.
AC/DC
4/5
It is very tough for me to separate AC/DC from my nostalgia which makes it hard to come into this with fresh eyes. The album hits hard and the vocals are harsh but that’s part of the fun. Half of the songs on this album are regulars on classic rock radio so it certainly deserves to be on this list.
Added to playlist: Shoot to Thrill
Van Halen
4/5
Short, sweet, and to the point. This is an iconic 80s rock album. Roth’s vocals and the guitars of Van Halen were defining moments for what the genre was in the 80s. If you ever listen to classic rock radio then you know many of these songs.
Added to playlist: Jump
Ray Charles
4/5
Ray Charles is a legend for a reason. Enjoyable record with excellent musicianship behind it.
Added to playlist: Come Rain or Shine
Everything But The Girl
4/5
I wasn’t excited when I got this album but it was a nice pleasant electronic album. Maybe a bit repetitive at times but very soothing.
Added to playlist: Before Today
Metallica
3/5
Fun combination of Metallica and classical music that surprisingly works well. I think it could benefit from being half as long because after a while it begins to get tiresome. I would be interested to hear the version of this if they made it today. I feel like they wouldn’t have nearly as much material from Load and Reload as they do on this record.
Added to playlist: No Leaf Clover
Paul Simon
5/5
I love Paul Simon. He is one of the best songwriters of his generation and it shows on this album. Upbeat fun album to listen to.

The more I listen to jazz the more I realize I really enjoy jazz. The music feels so full and everybody is a master of their craft. Excellent album to have on while at work.

Gangster rap was born here. Offensive by today’s standards but still iconic.
Essential Tracks:
1. Straight Outta Compton (Playlist)
2. Fuck Tha Police
3. Express Yourself
The Who
4/5
Having a live album on this list seems to be controversial but I personally think that live albums can be some of the best work a band puts out. I love the energy that this live album brings. You can just tell how good this band was live.
Essential Tracks:
-Heaven and Hell (Playlist)

Sam Cooke
4/5
Gun live record! Kind of surprised this is the only Sam Cooke on the list but I’ll take what I can get. Cooke’s singing is very raw and much more real than what you get on other recordings. So many of these songs are completely iconic. My only issue with the album is that the instruments get a bit buried under the vocals at times.
Essential tracks:
1. Cupid (Added to playlist)
2. Chain Gang
3. Twistin’ the Night Away
The Everly Brothers
4/5
Unbelievably influential early 60s rock act. They can harmonize with the best of them and convinced everybody else they should harmonize too. Seems dated by todays standards but revolutionary for its time.
Essential Tracks:
Cathy’s Clown (Added to playlist)
Love Hurts
Lucille
Pearl Jam
5/5
One of the best rock debuts of all time. So many amazing songs just from this one album. Eddie Vedder’s voice is so unique and stands out so well on this album.

Essential tracks:

Patti Smith
4/5
Very raw album that is very lyrics focused. You can tell from listening how much influence poetry has on her lyricism. Very fun to hear these songs build on themselves as they progress. Enjoyed this one more than I thought I would.
Essential tracks:
Break It Up (Playlist)
Gloria (In Excelsis Deo)
Bob Dylan
5/5
Fantastic record! We all know and have talked about how Bob Dylan can’t sing but that’s not really what this is about. Dylan’s lyrics are some of the best storytelling we’ve had on a record. Side note: Does anybody use the harmonica better than Bob Dylan?
Essential Tracks:

Johnny Cash
5/5
The final album Johnny Cash put out during his lifetime. This has to be one of the best cover albums I’ve ever heard. Cash makes all of these songs his own and the emotion that he exhibits while performing them is amazing.

I understand this album is considered essential and in a way I can get it. Personally though it’s a bit too jammy for me. It feels like so many of these songs just continue on and go nowhere. Maybe it’s a me problem.
