Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

Classic album from my youth. Great 90s rock/grunge album. Favorite tracks: Let Me Drown My Wave Black Hole Sun Spoon man The Day I Tried to Live

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

The album has a good vibe. The band has a distinctive sound with some new wave influence in there. Good music for chilling at a bonfire or taking a road trip. Favorite tracks: The Suburbs Ready to Start Modern man Empty Room Half Light II Suburban War Month of May We Used to Wait Sprawl II

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

The best album from the Indie Rock era, period. The only song on this album I’m not a big fan of is “Everything Will Be Alright”.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

2/5

Catchy disco/funk music album, but nothing special. Tracks I like: He's the Greatest Dancer We Are Family

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

Not Bowie's best album. I was not a big fan of most of the songs, including the cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together" that we didn't need. Tracks I liked: Watch That Man Time

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Great 90s rock album, although maybe not enough meat on the bone for a double-disc. Tracks I like: Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness Tonight Zero Here is No Why Bullet With Butterfly Wings An Ode to No One Muzzle Bodies Thirty-Three 1979

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

3/5

A fun hard rock album. I like that they don't take themselves too seriously. Tracks I like: The Age of Pamparius Selfdestructo Blast Rock Against Ass Prince of the Rodeo Monkey On Your Back

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

This one is a little out there for me, but it's an interesting sound and there is a beauty to some of it. Tracks I like: Staralfur Viorar Vel Til Loftarasa Olsen Olsen

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

1/5

Definitely not my kind of music. The repetitiveness of it triggers my misophonia so a lot of the music is anxiety-inducing to me. It sounds like they create a beat and have a contest to see who can layer more stuff onto it. A perfect example is Chico's groove, which has a good beat but then gets ruined by a bunch of zaps and noises dumped on top of it. Tracks I didn't completely hate: Chico's Groove One Too Many Mornings

White Ladder

David Gray

2/5

Not a bad album, but nothing special. It's something I could have on in the background while I am working on something else. Tracks I liked: Nightblindness This Year's Love

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

This is one of the greatest albums ever made, and certainly the best pop album of all time. The only track on this album I'm not a big fan of is "The Girl is Mine".

Nixon

Lambchop

5/5

This is an incredible album, and I can't believe I had never heard of this band before. They have a unique sound that sometimes borders on orchestral, and I like the stream-of-consciousness lyrics in the songs. Just an all-around good, groovy sound to them. Normally I list tracks I like off these albums but I'm just going to say all of them for this one.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

2/5

This album is alright. Nothing to write home about. I'm not a big fan of the beats, as the producer seems to like to lay discordant samples over what is otherwise a decent beat. The lyrics are okay, but not great. It's listenable is about all I can say. Tracks I liked: Perverted Monds In Tha House (Theme) Ain't the Devil Happy Jungle Music

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

2/5

A decent alternative album. Nothing special or notable about it. Tracks I like: For Tomorrow Advert

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

It's the Beatles. It's 5 stars. Tracks I liked: The whole album

Play

Moby

3/5

As someone who is not a fan or electronica/electronic music, this album was a pleasant surprise. While it still had too much of one sample running over and over for 3 minutes on some of the tracks, a lot of the album was more musical. Tracks I liked: Porcelain South Side Rushing Bodyrock Run On Everloving Guitar Flute & String The Sun Never Stops Setting

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

A great stripped-down American folk album with really well-written songs.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

2/5

The title track of this album is fantastic, but as much as I love the Temptations I wasn't very into the rest of the album.

Orbital 2

Orbital

1/5

It was a lot of the same noises over and over again on each track. I didn't like anything about it.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

2/5

This is album isn't bad but isn't great. It seems like he was recording ideas for songs that he never really finished. I'd rather listen to the Beatles. Tracks I liked: Momma Miss America Maybe I'm Amazed

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

5/5

A fantastic country & western album, stripped down to the essentials. I loved the whole thing.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

1/5

I can see why he became popular, but I am not a fan.

Connected

Stereo MC's

1/5

Beats were mediocre and it only got worse when the guy started “rapping” over them.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

1/5

If pretentiousness made an album, it would sound a lot like this.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

It's the Beatles. It's 5 stars.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

1/5

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

Not his best album, but it's still very solid.

The Predator

Ice Cube

4/5

Solid album with a message.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

2/5

Pop music like this is not for me. I had to suffer through my sisters listening to this album over and over growing up. They aren't terrible songs, definitely catchy, but very over-produced.

Fever Ray

2/5

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

Elton John
