Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 19 2023

Solid album.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 20 2023

A lot of jazz and funk. Good songs: These walls, u, hood politics, the blacker the berry.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jul 21 2023

A timeless masterpiece in progressive rock. Title song Wish you were here is incredible and emotional. If there ever was a five this is it.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 22 2023

Hard hitting album started propelled into mainstream music. Album includes top tracks: Breaking the girl, Suck my kiss, Give it away, and Under the bridge. Easily the Chili Peppers best album.

Jul 24 2023

What is there not to like? One of the best voices of our time. Classic music. Respect, Drowning in my tears, and Save me are my favs from this album.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 25 2023

Solid album with some great drums. There are also some good ballads that make Vol 4 outstanding on multiple levels.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jul 26 2023

Tough to get through. Not at all shocking that I never heard of him before. Hopefully this is the only album by him on this list.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jul 27 2023

A very eclectic album. The songs It's business as usual and vermilion kisses are the the hight of strange. Overall not terrible.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jul 28 2023

Cornerstone new wave and the quintessential 80s album. Good hits and catchy beats.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jul 29 2023

Spoiler alert! All Stones album get 5 stars. They are one of the foundational bricks of the church of Rock-and-Roll.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Jul 30 2023

This album was incredible awful. I'm am not sure how it made the list, because my life would have been better never to have heard this album.

Being There by Wilco
Jul 31 2023

First time listening to anything by Wilco. No tracks stand out, but you can listen to the album straight though. Very enjoyable.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 01 2023

My first Beatles album on the list. Not their best but a so-so Beatles album is better than most band's best.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 02 2023

Nope.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Aug 03 2023

Good album. Only heard of Costello's hits but his other music is really good too. Highly recommend.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Aug 05 2023

Good album. Walk this way and sweet emotions are best. Adam's Apple is a solid track. I wish you could give half stars on this site.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Aug 06 2023
Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 10 2023

Decent sound. Liked it more than I thought I would. Not sure if I would listen to it again, but it was a good listen nonetheless.

#1 Record by Big Star
Aug 11 2023

Not as bad as the other album on this list but begs the question, how this band has not one but two albums on this list?

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 23 2023

Good beats and rhythms. Lyrics and rhymes a little lacking. Decent album though.
