Moving Pictures by Rush

Top 3 of Rush albums and the best mix of prog and rock that has ever been released.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

This was almost as groundbreaking as Nevermind or Versus. A mainstream female artist that was singing about life in a raw, open way. Pop just didn't do that before.

Garbage light.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' by 50 Cent

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles

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

More like the Strokes/Vines than I was expecting.

Forgettable synth pop

Meh

Trafalgar by Bee Gees

Very 'Let It Be' era Beatles vibe. No bangers, but well-produced.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Even if it was just Take Five, it would be a classic, but its all great. And I am not a jazz person. Talent is talent

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

I was expecting more. I don't know why. Its a good album just not memorable.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause

Its showtunes. I just can't. Good voice, but an hour of German tinged songs about tanks. No.

What a weird album. Not a lot of memorable songs in there. Clever concept, but seems like a comedy sketch

Absolute banger

Repeater by Fugazi

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen

All Mod Cons by The Jam

Risque by CHIC

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman by John Zorn

Heavy metal jazz. One extra star for the talent of the musicians

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

Its jammy southern rock blues. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nixon by Lambchop

Budget Tom Waits. Pass

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

LP1 by FKA twigs

Da Capo by Love

Seven and Seven Is (mediocre version) and a lot of hippie nonsense.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson

Super chill and interesting. Definitely liked this better than Smile

Remain In Light by Talking Heads

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman

A Northern Soul by The Verve

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega

Make Yourself by Incubus

More like Linkin Park than Coldplay. Couple of real bangers, though.

Dirty by Sonic Youth

Rip It Up by Orange Juice

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers

Its very much of the time. All the songs end up sounding the same, but the musicianship is excellent.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul

Plenty of good stuff.

Like Water For Chocolate by Common

World Clique by Deee-Lite

Groove is in the heart and a bunch of other tracks with the same vibe (but less memorable). I don't dislike anything, but I'm probably not going back.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard

I really have no idea if this is good for country music or not. I enjoyed it, but not enough to seek out more Merle.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

Raw talent and creativity. Just so weird its hard to get into.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison

He does one thing (and has since 1969). Its good, though.

Kick Out The Jams (Live) by MC5

Very raw but entertaining live album

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder

Even better than I remember.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

I liked this more than I expected. Really good energy and fun guitar work

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Moby Grape by Moby Grape

Blue-eyed soul. Not terrible.

Survivor by Destiny's Child

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem

Its a vibe. Probably good for a long road trip or focus time

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps

m b v by My Bloody Valentine

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces

Should have been as popular as the Beatles or the Stones? Heck no.

Oracular Spectacular by MGMT

Well done, but not my jam

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp

Green by R.E.M.

Eclectic and of the time, but really memorable and tuneful. So many good songs.

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Absolute banger. May be the best grunge album ever.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt

Scott 4 by Scott Walker

Low-Life by New Order

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Heart of Glass and One Way or Another make this 5 stars with nothing else

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black by Public Enemy

The Notorious Byrd Brothers by The Byrds

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Its about 5 songs too long. I added a star for A-tier vocals and style variety. But I liked it about 3 stars.

Suicide by Suicide

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted by Ice Cube

A Rush Of Blood To The Head by Coldplay

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
