5/5

Very fun will revisit so that I can discover more of the meaning within the lyrics.

Steely Dan

4/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

They sound like goats i forgot how many famous songs came from this album (baby driver, Cecilia, etc). Like this must have been a favourite album for many of the artsy kids with aspirations to move to New York in the early 60s/70s. Maybe the lame artsy kids - everyone knows the cool ones listened to the velvet underground.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Good vibes, Mick Jagger is not a great singer but there are a lot of bops. No skips but I probably would not revisit and definitely won't remember all the songs.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

5/5

Very fun will revisit so that I can discover more of the meaning within the lyrics.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Jerry for the love of god I can't understand what you're saying but it does make me feel pretty cool. Yeah I'm a rooster don't mess with me 🐔🐔 ANGRY CHAIRRRRR

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

1/5

Oh god why - good music made by horrible person.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

This sounds like exactly how the album looks. Supreme vibe will probably listen to it again.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Very Led Zepplin

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Spiritual lyrical miracle individual.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

2/5

Can critics pls stop recommending me white dudes from the 60s and 70s. I can see how other people may like this but I don't. It feels like the entire point of the album is to recreate a jazz bar setting atmosphere with a live studio audience. But that's a gimmick that I get tired of 1.5 songs in. Why don't people just listen to live recordings of jazz musicians? Or go to a jazz bar? Both options offer more enjoyable music. Why listen to a dude recite a script about how horny he is or how sad this random pretty woman's life is.

Rapture

Anita Baker

4/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Accurate title.

Tommy

The Who

5/5

If I had been born in the 50s I would have been obsessed with this.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Very good vibes got me dancing in my kitchen.

Skylarking

XTC

4/5

I have already listened to this album and enjoyed it hehe.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

5/5

Not always my thing but def an album I revisit once in a while

All That You Can't Leave Behind

4/5

This felt like a series of movie soundtrack songs (probably because they have been used as such). The one thing I know about Bono is that he was called Bone-o in the flash game celebrity pedigree.

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

4/5

In some songs I was really surprised by how progressive they were for 1987 - like there are aspects of little furry things that are considered experimental by today's tastes. A lot of the rest sounds like 90s indie rock which i guess they were a precursor to. Appreciate the novelty but did not enjoy listening to all the songs.

Horses

Patti Smith

5/5

Gotta revisit

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

5/5

One of my mom's fave bands and she knows nothing about them 😞

Tracy Chapman

3/5

The lyrics are pretty well crafted and she is a gr8 poet but I found the accompanying instrumentals too boring to enjoy it. Also fast car has been previously ruined for me. This is queer on queer violence. Sorry Tracy.

Joanna Newsom

5/5

I really liked it! Never heard of such orchestral folk music before, also think her voice is super unique and cool. Hehhe the was a bread roll.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

Some really good songs some more meh songs

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Im happy this gave me a reason to revisit this album. Like it. Especially the lost in a supermarket song

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

3/5

My favourite parts of this album are the parts they sound like othe post-hardcore/emo bands that I enjoy. They make me wish I was listening to slint or dogleg instead 🥲. I get that they were like the fathers of emo or smth. The second half of the album was better than the first.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

Stop giving me steely Dan albums 😭

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

5/5

This is a 4.5 and Hats is a 5. I find some of the instrumentals kind of funny, they remind my of when I was in year 7 and we had to start composing things on Sibelius.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Murica

Low

David Bowie

3/5

I did not really enjoy it

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

It was fun

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

4/5

This is a 3.5 - was very nice and chill to listen to while going Christmas shopping am unsure if I will listen to it again. She has obviously influenced some artists I really enjoy.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

5/5

My fave guitar bowing whiney bois

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

I liked, portishead coming in with the supreme vibes. Did not emotionally touch me much so it gets a 4.

Ctrl

SZA

5/5

This is what I listen to every time I'm on an airplane. For the longest time I had no idea what the second half of the album sounded like because I would always fall asleep. Every time I revisit I find a new thing to like.

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

4/5

Good vibes liked the more instrumental ones halfway through. Very comforting

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

5/5

I mean what did you think I would rate it

Boston

3/5

This entire album feels like this scene from SpongeBob https://youtu.be/cUZNXgIXM1c?feature=shared

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

The sound was so momentous at times I had to lie on my floor and vibe while listening. Also blends of so many genres done so well while never getting boring or hackey like other prog rock bands. Its like the spiritual ancestor of black midi. Also the first album I've seen on this list that I could confidently say belongs on it 100%. Time to listen to it again.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

3/5

It was nice jack white is obviously very talented. I'll probably not listen to it again.

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

I really like the concept and Nick cave is literally the best person for making an album like this. I can't give it a 5 because altho I love both Nick and PJ Harvey I have never managed to sit through Henry Lee. Also Stagger Lee is a bi psychopathic icon.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

Kind of hit and miss tho I wish I liked it better bec I really like PJ as an artist.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

I mean I cant find anything bad about it but I did not enjoy it and got bored a couple songs in. I was googling Ray Charles while listening and unsurprisingly he was a huge womaniser.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

I like that both the biggest trip hop bands of the 90s came from Bristol. I feel like Massive Attack is easier for a casual listen but thats because its less emotionally potent. Idk enough about Massive attack's discography to rank this album against their others. Still nice to vibe to. I also like that some of their lyrics are kind of dorky by today's hiphop standards. My baby just cares for me, well, that's funny Her touch tickles especially on my tummy I have done more googling apparently this is considered the first trip hop album and basically founded the genre so that's neat.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

5/5

I am so grateful for having been born otherwise I would not be able to listen to Joni Mitchell's music.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

There is so much distortion on everything I can barely hear the melodies. I like that they look like Minecraft YouTubers.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

This was fun never bored also wild that hiphop used to be this. I like there's a whole song about shoes.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

3/5

I stopped listening a couple songs in nothing really gripped me.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

4/5

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

5/5

Breakfast time is a weird song. Otherwise really enjoyed!

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Really cool to see how many artists they've obviously influenced. Although the sound feels a bit old, less dated than other albums from the 70s and definitely has passages that feel new and fresh which is quite remarkable.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

4.5 rounded up how could anyone dislike this

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

This is has been played at least once in every sports bar. It's fun but not quite my thing.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

4/5

House music is not generally my thing but I liked this.

Adele

3/5

Not sure how to rank this album against others so it gets a 3 but undoubtedly talented

Iron Maiden

3/5

I don't know enough about heavy metal to know if this is particularly good.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

It is crazy that this is almost 20 years old and doesn't sound dated.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

2/5

The second half is much better than the first, there's a reason that led Zeppelin and black Sabbath are better remembered than these guys. I'm sure actually seeing their concerts live is a phenomenal experience but this did not translate into headphones.

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

5/5

I loved this I can't believe I haven't listened to Brian Eno before

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

3.5, would have been a 4 if it was only the second half of the album

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

2/5

I'm sure if I made it past the first couple of songs I could have rated it better

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

This is a 5 because it's a perfect album and most definitely absolutely not because I'm afraid of what Radiohead fans will do to me if I don't rate it as such l.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

3/5

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

One of my airplane albums

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

5/5

Nice

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

I really like the album cover. I don't remember the music.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

Mayonnaise is one of my favourite songs of all time. But some songs are not very memorable - 4.5 rounded up.

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

3/5

This feels like they have a quirky SpongeBob kind of vibe but after listening to the last song about living with the trauma of sexual assault I read all the lyrics and damn they did not come through in the music.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

4/5

What happened to you sheep woman to make you feel this way

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

3/5

Not very cohesive but i do really like some of the songs!

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

This band was made for making soundtracks. Very good at setting tone but can easily fade into the background.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

I really loved tether when I was 12, and I had never heard anything like their sound at the time. To me they now sound a little dated.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Quite possibly the most ambitious concept album

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

I wish there was an Arcade Fire album I liked in its entirety. The highs are high the lows are boring. This particular album is really frustrating to me because there are so many songs that i could almost really enjoy.

Yeezus

Kanye West

2/5

Most influential rapper of the century. Reinvented rap + brought an entirely new audience into the genre. Most of the most famous rap/hiphop artists today influenced by him etc. etc. I don't like this album. Maybe because it's one of his least approachable, tho I do like other artists with aggressive, jagged beats like peggy and injury reserve.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

5/5

One of my favourite albums that year. Witty writing, lush instrumentation, immaculate vibes.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

My favourite LCD soundsystem album. The best songs I've heard about grief and losing control of your life.
