The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

Separate art from the artist. Great album really. Kanye has had an undeniable impact on hip hop and rap and music in general really. Not sure if this is the most groundbreaking album of his but it def has some great stuff on it. I like the story telling aspect

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Ik kende het album al, maar nu echt goed naar geluisterd. Heeeeel goed 10/10 would listen again

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

2/5

Zo violently American het maakt het moeilijk om naar te luisteren. Hoewel de muziek goed is kan ik nergens aan relaten en voelt het een beetje oppervlakkig omdat hij in z’n muziek zo aan stereotype Amerikaanse cultuur lijkt te voldoen. Is dit echt hoe het is? Stereotypen zijn er niet voor niks natuurlijk

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Ja echt wel goed, wel heel lang en sommige dingen waren niet helemaal voor mij bestemd. Muzikaal wel heel goed

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

Prima album heb lekker schoongemaakt met dit aan, vrij intens soms maar over het algemeen ook wel casual te luisteren

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Heel mooi, in sommige nummers is de vibrato in dr stem iets te om relaxed te luisteren. Meeste nummers heel mooi voor bij romantisch dinertje

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

I like!!

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

2/5

Beetje futuristisch haast, je raakt afgeleid van alle gekke geluiden erdoorheen. Was voor die tijd vast vrij baanbrekend. Ik vind het moeilijk dat álle nummers politieke issues aankaarten terwijl de muziek er eigenlijk juist van afleid. Beetje funky voor zulke donkere themas. Muzikaal wel goed en ze heeft natuurlijk wel een goeie stem dus muzikaal wel goed.

Elephant

The White Stripes

4/5

Blij verrast echt leuk album would listen again

I Should Coco

Supergrass

2/5

okay but anyone hear that straw moving through plastic McDonald’s cupcover sound? In Sunday Bloody Sunday? Somewhere around 1:31-1:41. And from then on a few more times actually. You really discover new things with this 1001 albums list. Who knew U2 loved McDonald’s cups so much.

Sheet Music

10cc

5/5

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

I’m sorry I just don’t think this is it. The Beatles arent my cup of tea but john Lennon on his own is worse

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

1/5

I can’t I just… I can’t do it. How is it so bad. His voice… the lyrics… the music itself… how. Do people really connect to this on any level? Maybe I’m just uncultured but this… I just CANT DO IT

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Ja Nice

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

4/5

I really really like this

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

5/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Looked at the reviews and it turns out Phil Spector is a murderer… Christmas cheer anyone? These are definitely the best Christmas classics so I will be giving this a nice golden Christmas star, but not for that creepy Phil Spector message at the end!!

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

Ja ik vind dit gewone echt heel hard

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Beautiful

McCartney

Paul McCartney

3/5

Better than I expected. I guess he was a better Beatle than John. But.. I’m rating this a few days after listening and I actually don’t remember that much from the album, so not that memorable or not worth remembering? A quick re-listen tells me: worth remembering but not that memorable.

Microshift

Hookworms

3/5

Im definitely all for separating the art and the artist, but it does make it less enjoyable. Fun album for sure! Had never heard of it so pretty exciting to find something fun, but don’t think I’ll continue listening.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

I like!

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Not my favorite album of them, but certainly has some great and beautiful numbers on it.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Kate Bush u have my heart

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

4/5

Lovely

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Very fun

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Some if it is fun and comforting, some of it makes me nervous

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

It sadly just doesn’t hit quite the same anymore. I just enjoy it ever so slightly less. I’m a firm believer of separating the art and the artist when necessary so for the rating I will put the somewhat eerie feeling aside. MJ has had an unbelievably big impact on the world, reaching far beyond just music. This album is boogie indeed.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

Quite enjoyable! But nothing really special to me

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

Wow this was really enjoyable i didn’t expect this to be this good to be honest. Really really enjoyed this

Palo Congo

Sabu

2/5

Boyfriend said it’s nice music to fall asleep to…? Anyway, I think the recording is a little flat, with modern recording techniques it would have a lot more depth and balance. Still pretty swingy but I would like this a lot more live I think. Now it’s just a lot of noise.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Chill, pretty nice, maybe I would listen again

Dire Straits

5/5

I mean… come on

Future Days

Can

4/5

Hmmm I already knew Holger Czukay but I didnt know he was in this band. This album kind of tells a story? It really sparks your imagination, you can visualise a whole world around this album. Though I like Holger Czukay on his own better..? I think..? This was definitly an experience worthwile

Parklife

Blur

4/5

Heel goed! Niet alle nummers even goed maar girls&boys is zo’n goed begin can’t really go wrong after that

Billy Bragg

2/5

Okee hmm ja mwah

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

I had been waiting for this one and then there it was. It doesn’t get any better than this does it? Despite the fact that I’ve listened to this so many times, it stil gets better every time. Every time Therese something I didn’t hear the last time. Surprising me every time

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Ahhh heerlijk I love this kampeer vakantie anthem

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Okay I like this but in a dire straits kinda way, not a U S A! U S A! Kinda way. Get it? It’s like, I like the music but I dont necessarily connect to the lyrics in a deeper way.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Repeater

Fugazi

2/5

Hmmmm iguess not for me

Throwing Muses

4/5

oeps listened to in a doghouse instead of throwing muses. Tag is wrong but the music was still fun. The throwing muses album is better tho. Pleasantly surprised I loved the punky vibe

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

3/5

Ja opzich wel mooi, zou het nog eens moeten luisteren om goed te kunnen oordelen. Lonely woman goed

1977

Ash

3/5

Ja catchy, opzich wel fun. Idk of t echt in deze lijst hoort maar ik ben geen expert

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Unparalleled

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

There’s something so sugar sweet about this album and she lays it on us so gently. Giving this a truly good listen really uncovers all the depths that get overlooked or maybe even hidden when hearing this on the radio. I never knew why this is so good, I guess I still don’t know why, now I just know it is

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

2/5

I dont like it sorry

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

I really wanted to like this and then I did! I like her as a person but the first two songs it didn’t click. And then somewhere along the third song I got it. You just get transported

Fragile

Yes

4/5

Roundabout :)))))))) actually quote liked this

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

Letsgooo well known favorite on this album take five! Great to wake up with.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Well not my favorite but I said I love the smiths

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

1/5

Although it’s not as bad as swordfish trombones it’s still not for me. I get why a very niche group of people might like this but I just can’t relate to the in my opinion substance lacking storytelling. I just can’t deal with the voice I guess. And it’s not because I don’t get jazz I love jazz. The setting feels unauthentic tho

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

3/5

First cd big fun, second cd bit boring

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Hmm mediocre other albums are more enjoyable

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

There’s this review, you might’ve seen it, it starts like this: Have you ever been out drinking with a few friends and it gets to that late hour where you can either go home or get weird? And he explains beautifully how this album is like when you decide to get weird. But I think he forgets to mention that somehow this album is both. It’s like when you get to that moment of the night and decide to go home as well. Saying goodbye to your friends who bravely accept the weird while you accept the quiet of the night. Lying drunk on your bed while the room is spinning, spacing out, waiting for the inevitable existential crisis to overflow your brain. But like, in a good way? This album just lures you into the parallel this truly album is. People who don’t like this probably never tried drugs… good for them!!

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Gorgeous what can I say. Especially loved Anne’s song and sparrow.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Lovely way to start the day

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

2/5

Hmm has like 2/3 Nice songs on it and the rest is uncomfortable noise

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Oehhh I really liked this

Nevermind

Nirvana

2/5

Like some of it is cool, but it mostly makes me nervous so

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

5/5

I can listen to this all day every day

Tracy Chapman

5/5

Never listened to the full album before but its all just as good as Fast car. It’s like one big story about everything she observes, making big systemic injustice feel personal and personal matters feel large and important.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Delicious

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Fun!!

Miriam Makeba

4/5

Orange Juice

3/5

Its fun but not special

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

2/5

Started off as something I thought I woudlnt like, for a very brief surprising moment I liked it, and then it was too whiney for me again. Glad I dont like it because the dude turn out to be… lets say not a great person

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

Okay so obviously around the world banger! Da funk yes but the rest of it… BUT I LOVE INTERSTELLA 555 so dont judge

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

This one review really took the words right out of my mouth so im just gonna copy paste it: “Did I enjoy the sound of this album? Yes definitely! Did I enjoy some of the lyrics? Yes! Did I enjoy all of the lyrics? Fuck no! (but that's kind of the point right?) Eminem's storytelling is so good and the songs are so catchy it does hold my attention, even if the misogyny does get tiring. Last couple of songs lost me a bit but otherwise I enjoyed this more than I expected.” Shoutout to the author!

Take Me Apart

Kelela

1/5

I think there are a lot more albums that would represent R&B or electronic R&B better than this. Beautiful vocals but thats all there is to it. Lyrically it provides nothing. Though it apparently made the list for being experimental, I would say its basic and overdone (or maybe just not done right?). Maybe in another lifetime I will appreciate this. Vocals are great tho!
