Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Amazing. Two of the greatest rock and roll songs are on this album, a whole new genre spawned, and single performances that will last lifetimes. Stones' finest.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

9/10 Light years ahead of its time. Reinvents progressive rock every two minutes (or roughly 1/8 of a song). A bit condescending at times, hard to follow at others, but otherwise, an amazing experience.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

9.5/10. Stunning experience. The pinnacle of Bowie songwriting, endless emotion in each verse, and one of the best closing tracks of all time in my opinion. A must listen.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

6/10 Eminem has seen better days.

Live Through This

Hole

3/5

6.5/10 I can see why there was a point in the 90s when Hole and Nirvana were considered the pinnacle of the new Seattle grunge wave. This is a solid, in your face grunge album with surprisingly good vocals and a couple of good riffs. Not my genre, but one of the best of grunge.

Parklife

Blur

2/5

5/10 This...is not it. Definitely overstays its welcome, although the closer tracks are better than the middle section. Kinda boring, I know Brit pop and even Blur can do better.

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

3/5

7/10 Kinda fun. Obviously couldn't come out of anything else than the 80s. A pretty good pop album that does what it's set out to do and doesn't disappoint.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

BLUES! LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

The Coral

3/5

Weirdly entertaining. Seems like it was created as a joke, but somehow works.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

Enjoyable. Makes me feel classy and slightly misogynistic. Overall a nice experience, but he has better projects.

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

4/5

8/10 Absolute powerhouse of a record. Staple of metal and endless supply of great riffs. If you look up "stank face" on Google, Walk by Pantera shows up. Still think Cowboys from Hell is better, though.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

3/5

6/10 Objectively, one of the best albums ever made. Too bad I fucking hate it.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

2/5

Yeah...this is not good.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Sono sempre stato un grande fan di Bob Marley. Viva la droga.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

3/5

I'm sure this album pushed many boundaries when it came out, for electronic music and music as a whole. It's just not for me.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Words cannot fully describe the perfection of this album. Each piece is a journey through what music can truly convey in its simplest and complex forms. If this isn't the best album of all time, I don't know what is.

War

4/5

8/10 Great album. Amazing opener, obviously, stays consistently good throughout. Solid U2 album, something to remember when you're listening to that God awful iTunes album that they made a while back.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

7/10 Tom Petty is always appreciated. He makes me feel cool.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

4/5

Bop. 8/10

Revolver

Beatles

2/5

Terribly boring. I'm sorry.
