Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Elton John is a legend. This is a legendary album. So many great songs. Not a dull moment in such a long album

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Funky psychedelic stuff 👍

Iron Maiden

3/5

Fast-paced metal. Pretty good

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

2/5

Interesting Daft Punk vibes, but less fun. More robotic

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Never clicked with this, but it could be really great

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

I guess I finally get Metallica. Pretty solid album.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

Crazy how good Eminem’s raps are on this. A little inconsistent as far as quality goes and sometimes comes across as “edgy”. Still, some 5-star songs on here

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Love this album. Exemplifies everything I love about indie rock of this time

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

Classic 90s album. All the hits

Something/Anything?

Todd Rundgren

3/5

A lot to take in on one listen. Recognized a couple songs, but I feel I’ll need to come back to this.

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

3/5

Issa vibe. Not something I would normally choose to listen to, as I never got into shoegaze-y music, but it’s pretty vibey.

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

David Bowie

5/5

Perfect album. David Bowie is a treasure

The Band

3/5

Feels like a compilation rather than a complete album. Still got several of the hits

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Listened to this once and it’s very well produced and everything, but I feel like Elvis Costello just isn’t totally my thing

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

2/5

Made me want to revisit other albums of this time period. Full of nostalgia and I was surprised how many songs I knew. Still, the lyrics are pretty corny and the vocal style is distracting and doesn’t hold up.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

Interesting crossover of Modest Mouse and moe.

Dare!

The Human League

2/5

Very ‘80s sounding. Doesn’t do much for me

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Love the Doors

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Fleetwood Mac is great! Not as great as Rumors, but still great

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Love some Iggy!

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

Okay. Probably would’ve really be into this ten years ago

Faust IV

Faust

2/5

Just not my thing. IDK

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Good album, but I don’t enjoy the Flaming Lips as much as I used to

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

I can dig it.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Soulful and psychedelic. I like it

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

Fire Of Love

The Gun Club

4/5

Really good delta blues/punk fusion. Can definitely hear the influence on the White Stripes.

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

3/5

Interesting. Didn’t like it at first, but could be something that grows on me

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Adele

3/5

Adele is one of the greatest singers of this generation. Still, the music isn’t necessarily my jam and nothing about this album blows me away.

Back In Black

AC/DC

1/5

Probably my hottest take, but I can’t stand to listen to AC/DC. I was hoping listening to the entire album would change my mind, but it didn’t. It made me appreciate the hits a little more, but everything else exemplifies the things I hate about hair metal/stadium rock. VERY subjective opinion, but this band has band forced into my ears since I was born. I’m sure others have a similar opinion of the Grateful Dead, but for me, AC/DC is that band I have no love for. 🤷

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

Sounds good, but I can’t help but feel like they’re trying too much to sound like Bowie

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Some of the most beautiful music I don’t understand.

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

4/5

Classic gangsta-rap album. Ice Cube was clearly the best rapper of NWA. I like the beats on this too

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

3/5

People say this is the first heavy metal album, but it doesn’t sound like heavy metal to me. Decent blues rock sound, kinda like the White Stripes. It may have been innovative for the time, but just okay today

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Classic folk-rock album of the hippie generation. Not everything aged great

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Not my favorite from the Police, but a lot of good stuff that really highlights their reggae influences

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

A few stinkers mixed in with a bunch of bangers. Sometimes, “The Police” sound dated to me, but they’re undeniably great

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Solid album from The Cure. Loved their new album and this one is almost as good. Looking forward to their later albums

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Moody alt shit. Somewhere between Velvet Underground and The National. I dig it, even if it didn’t blow me away

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

What’s not to love? Not as experimental as Bitches Brew, but a nice integration of electronic instruments with classic Miles jazz

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Pretty great. Had this album for years and never really gave it that much of a chance.

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Pretty solid and I could see it being a big deal when it came out in ‘65

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

3/5

Pretty great. I could see myself being really into this if I was around at the time it came out. Still, it sounds distinctly very 90s pop

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

The Stones are the best. So great songs on this one

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Elton John is a legend. This is a legendary album. So many great songs. Not a dull moment in such a long album
