War

4/5

U2 at their first peak, in this case post-punk, new wave.

Paul Simon

3/5

Fun little soft rock album. The 2 blues songs are weirdly not very bluesy but as a whole, it was inoffensive and heartfelt

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

Factory issue, official seal, AC/DC hard rock. Obviously less technically impressive than your Motorheads or Van Halens, but it's solid fun hard rock.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

Fun, upbeat jazz of the era

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

Classic hits, fun sampling, a ton of good verses

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

Beatles are pretty good

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Sam's energy and chemistry with both the band and crowd is amazing. He's just electric. The songs are proven standards, and Bring It on Home is a solid tent pole, but the live flow of the setlist is well done. The back 5 basically are one big medley

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

3/5

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

The album that got me into hip hop. Even if you took away the lyrics, the beats are amazing, it's an honest to God jazz rap album.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Unpretenious, likeable 70s rock. The guitar lines are the highlight, but you really do get a sense of it being a full band effort and not just Tom and some hangers on.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

3/5

Slighty more low key Public Enemy circa 1991, with both the old school production and the Nation of Islam loyalties

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

Lotta music on this one. Most of it is good, but a lot

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

5/5

Beautiful pop album, the 2 halls could be great EPs alone but together it's a great 1 2 punch of hits and storytelling
