This is an album that I would have never discovered had it not been for this app. Not my cup of tea, but I’m grateful to have experienced it.
Rage Against The Machine · 2 likes
5/5
This is a no-brainer 5 star album for me. It was released my Freshman year of high school and it still feels relevant today. And yes I get the “protest songs in a major label” album critique, but this debut is such a pure statement of who this band is
Morello’s guitars are great, the production on the drums and base brings them to the front, Andre La Rocha‘s rap-rock vocals are very passionate. That this presaged some of the later 90s rap rock is irrelevant. This is a classic!
And look at the date I submitted this. You better believe rage against the machine is still relevant.

Steely Dan
4/5
This album sounds familiar - but I've never listened to it all the way through. The songs meander and bend. It is a good "getting work done" album. It's amazing how I never knew the names of songs that are somehow familiar like "Deacon Blues." It is well-produced and cohesive and a product of it's time for sure.
Paul McCartney and Wings
4/5
You can tell that this is an evolution from the Beatles. McCartney’s songs bounce all around thematically, but there’s a cohesiveness to the album. It ends with brief bars from the titular track, indicating a great degree of care that went into the production. Overall, I can’t say that I prefer his solo work, or that with wings, over the Beatles, but you could see how he evolved as an artist in this album.
Jamiroquai
3/5
Radiohead
5/5
The Doors
5/5
A cohesive statement from the legendary rock band featuring iconic songs and layered production. There’s still nothing quite like them - driven by Ray Manzarek’s keyboard and Jim Morrison’s growling vocals.
5/5
I’ll admit I’ve never listened to the album all the way through despite being a U2 fan - which Really picked up in the early 90s with Achtubg baby. This album begins with the holy triumvirate of stadium anthems and stylistically continues from there. It is the definitive 80s U2 statement and deserves a place on the pantheon.
Muddy Waters
4/5
This is blues music. If I wanted to teach my kids what blues music was I would play this album for them. It’s not my favorite genre but this is a wonderful distillation of what makes blues so emotionally resonant.
The National
4/5
This is absolutely my second favorite album from The National. Boxer is unassailable, but with songs like little voice, and Bloodbuzz Ohio, the national have crafted another masterpiece.
The Doors
3/5
This is the second doors album that I’ve got on the list. It isn’t as cohesive as LA woman, and stylistically It departs a bit with more reliance on piano and dirge like tunes. Nevertheless, it is stylistically interesting - Morrison is commanding as ever, and it tells a story.
Ministry

Wow - I’ve never heard of this collaborative - but what a cohesive album. An homage to the British 60s and a surprise for sure.

I just discovered this one - what an amazing cohesive album. It’s an impressive contemporary to OK Computer and introduced me to an intriguing artist I’m interested in seeing more from.
Deep Purple

It doesn’t include their biggest hit, but it is a very cool statement from a classic band from the hard rock era.

I actually had to listen to some other tracks by them because this was not available on Apple Music. Nevertheless, it was weird. The organ intros, and the rapid preamble to each song were followed by pretty typical 60s pop. Nothing special but I could see the appeal.

I had no idea what to expect, but this was amazing! Melancholy stylistically all over the place with some really standout tracks. Pleasantly surprised! “Let the Bells Ring” and “Supernaturally” in particular are amazing.
Butthole Surfers

My only experience with the band was “Take the Skinheads Bowling.” It started out promising with “Sweet Loaf” but got repetitive and redundant even in its short length. I get that they’re trying to be provocative and all. But it was just… boring.

Reading the reviews on here you’d think Tom Waits has a devoted cult following - and you’re right, he does - but I found this experimental rock nigh impenetrable, with only some of the more melodic entries and his gravely voice being standouts. I’m sure there’s a lot more of him on this list too.

This album was important at its time - but now it’s meandering and a slog to listen to. And no, I’m not dropping acid while sitting at my desk at work.
I have no problem stating that “Touch of Grey” is a great song though.

I heard “Someone Great” from this album while shopping at The Gap with my future spouse. That prompted me to download the entire album and I listened to it incessantly through a challenging professional period In my life. This is a five star album for me, personally. You may not agree, and that’s OK, but sometimes the emotion and the quality of music intertwine exquisitely.

What to do when an entire album builds to one song that is so clearly superior than everything else on it? That’s what we’ve got right here. I’m not sure I’ve ever listened to an album where the final song was the best song by such a significant degree. “Don’t You Want Me” is definitely one of the best 80s tracks ever and maybe I was subconsciously building anticipation for its appearance knowing that it was the final track. Nevertheless, the album is satisfyingly cromulent synth pop / new wave.

It really felt like a Paul McCartney experiment. Some white album stuff mixed with one classic track. Not as good as his stuff with wings, but still enjoyable.

I know that Nirvana is the legendary band, and that Pearl Jam have the longevity, but if I were to have to hand someone an album and say “this is grunge” then I might just hand them “Dirt.”
Excellent production, multiple hits, and one of the best opening and closing song duos of all time with “Them Bones” and “Would.”

This is a wonderful album! So mellow! I first heard “Remind Me” when it was used in the famous Geico Caveman commercials back in the early oughts and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.

After I completed this album, my streaming music Service played Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode. Man is Violated great album truly a five out of five. Clearly of its time, but still feels modern and fresh today. As the kids might say banger after banger after banger.
After that I listed to all of Violator, then some more Depeche Mode. Then the Talking Heads discography. I had a very productive day at work too.
Oh, yeah…

I’m gonna be honest, I’m 47 years old and I’ve listened to a heck of a lot of music - but I’ve never listened to dark side of the moon in it’s totality. And I went in skeptical but I’m gonna be honest it deserves five stars. I listened to it during a rainy drive on the way into work early on a Sunday morning, and I can see now how it has earned its legendary status. It is a total achievement in the “concept album” genre - and they knew that I would get to it at some point on this list, and I’m delighted to have had the chance to listen to it before my shift in the emergency apartment.

“Duke of Earlsfield” sounds like a video game level set in a creepy crystal cave.
Best track on the album - “Tow Truck”
Overall, a lot of it sounded like an “experiment.”I’m glad to have been given the opportunity to give it a chance. Technology is amazing in that it gives us an opportunity to hear all this music.
Still, not my jam, a lot of it sounds like clanging on pipes and “plumbing” noises. Based on other reviews on this project, Two out of five.
A one out of five I deem basically unlistenable FYI.

You can see how they influenced Radiohead. Really interesting stuff here - some of the more
Ambient tracks aren’t for me but the production is impressive especially for its time.

Second day in a row that I got somebody that was an inspiration for Radiohead. Especially after seeing them live, coincidence?
You can certainly hear Kid A and Amnesiac in this one - but also some of the more subtle electronic elements on In Rainbows
If you only want to listen to one track, make it “Roygbiv”
