American Idiot

Green Day · 1 likes

5/5

The first album on this list so far, which I bought and loved at the time of release. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. An immediate classic, a masterpiece.

All Ratings

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

Very grungy, raw and powerful. Loved it.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

I knew this album before. I actually owned it growing up. I used to like this kind of music, but not really anymore. Still, was great to revisit, it does have some legendary tracks on it.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Whooo, This was really out of my usual, but kinda enjoyed it briefly. Big black guys rapping is just powerful. But the songs were pretty non creative and entirely unrelatable for me.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

The first time I actually read into Bowie and listened to a whole album of his was when this came out. I thought he made the ultimate artistic move, and found it amazing. The album is really sad, of course. Without the background story, I wouldn’t be that into the music, but as an artistic piece, I love it.

Fragile

Yes

3/5

It wasn’t really memorable to me. It reminded me of being a kid at the neighbour’s garden party when Józsi bácsi was blasting progressive rock noone heard about from CD-s he collected. All the suburban mums hated it but the progressively drunker dads were kinda living it. Anyway, will probably not revisit, but it was still a good listen. Also, I was tired when listening, so I probably not have given it the fairest chance.

Tapestry

Carole King

5/5

Oooooh yes baby, what an album opening. Also, great album cover!

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

4/5

It’s gonna be an album I will love once I listen to it more. Memory boy and Desire Lines got me at first tho.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Actually, I liked it. It’s not at all the music I normally listen to, but it just found me in the right mood for this, so yeah.

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

A really British album from a New York band. Loved it. Listened to it many times.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

This album is all over the place, as you would expect from a band named like this. Even an Eastern European countryside bus ride feels dreamy with it.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Makes me want to sadly hitchike across The Mid-West.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

A classic one full of bangers, before they became a load of shit.

The Libertines

5/5

Kimono My House

Sparks

Great album, although some vocal parts were almost annoying. Still, loved it, listened to it twice instantly.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

OK Computer

Radiohead

Pornography

The Cure

5/5

Clandestino

Manu Chao

American IV: The Man Comes Around

4/5

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

4/5

I liked it a lot, it requires a certain mood, but will definitely revisit. Also reminded me of the Bloodhound Gang song The lapdance is so much better when the stripper is crying, which is an absolutely disgusting masterpiece.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

5/5

I mean… They got me when I was 15, and made me want to become a time traveller and a hippie. And even tho it is extremely overlistened from my side, occasionally it can still make me cry.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Pretty cool for a trainride back home. Nice and cosy, but not groundbreaking.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

cute

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

The Cars

4/5

Fun but short, album, good guitar themes. A little too innocent.

Bert Jansch

4/5

Great, poetic album, Nick Drakey calmness.

Van Halen

3/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

It’s a great jam for a train ride, but this was ment to be enjoyed live I think.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

I really wasn’t in the mindset for this, but maybe if I was I would have appreciated it better, you probably meed to sit down in a dark corner with some red wine and crackers, and I was sitting on a romanian train instead. So it’s a 3 star album for now.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

What can I say? Every second of it is the anthem of my misunderstood teenagehood.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

2/5

I swear I tried. Tried to appreciate the significance of it, the groundbreaking nature, but I was switching between being bored and anxious. It’s probably good background music for some documentaries about space, but other than that it’s just bloopadedoop for me.

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

The first album on this list so far, which I bought and loved at the time of release. Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. An immediate classic, a masterpiece.

In Utero

Nirvana

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

ya like jazz?

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Didn’t make it all the way through yet, but I will. A classic, perfect for this sunny afternoon.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

I loved it. Spotify threw this at me one before, and I liked it, but forgot to save, so was happy that this reemerged.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

5/5

Super surprising album. It sounds way more recent than it actually is. I loved it. Will definitely listen again.
