Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Dec 25 2023

An album with an amazing cover that the more that you see it, the more you find. All of the songs are impressively involvent, make you feel in a hole scenario into the woods, dancing around in circles or just laying down in the grass. With a lot of changing rhytms in every song that makes you think is another song.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 27 2023

I can say that this is one of the greatest debut albums, every instrument has an unique rhytm and sound; the guitar is really psychodelic, the vocals and drums are hypnotizing. I'm not a big fan of Jimmy Hendrix, but i can tell, as a fan of rock music, that this is a very unique album that came to change the way music was made and the sound of rock n' roll music.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Dec 28 2023

I think it might be a good album, but i don't think is the greatest of all. It has cool songs in it.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 29 2023

Not really my thing, but it's not bad, the fact that it's live gives it a plus

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jan 01 2024

I love the album cover really much! Simple but at the same time really complicated and abstract. I thought that because of being an album of David Bowie, one of the biggest music stars in the world, it would be a really cool album, and, actually, it is a good album, it has amazing songs, and, as his last work before he died it makes it a little more important because it feels like a goodbye with the rhytm of the songs, specially with the principal song "Blackstar", but i expected just a little bit more. Even tho, i liked it.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 02 2024

I actually loved this album, most of the songs here are TOP. This is the exact music you would listen on a roadtrip. Some of the leatrics are dump? Yeah, of course they are, but common' it's ZZ Top, what did you expected?

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 04 2024

I don't know what to think about this, 'cause it's know the tipe of music i like, even tho i bounced my head a few times.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 05 2024

I like all the instruments here, it's very relaxing. It gives you calm vibes, and i think that's cool. Not the type music i would listen very often, but it's great!

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 08 2024

A rock and also a metal classic! Making a album in a portable studio and in the 70?! God! I love it! Every single song has an amazing riff, vocals, everything. I'd never listen this album before, just the famous songs: Smoke on the Water and Highway Star, so listen to the complete album was beautiful! Like i said before, every song is AMAZING.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jan 09 2024

It' amazing how this album has leatrics attacking all of the things that the goverment does and how you feel all of the rage there, i loved it!

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 10 2024

It's real cool that this album, even tho i'm not a big fan of this type of music, you can listen to it calmly 'cause you don't feel it long lasting and the songs in it are literally *lovely*

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 11 2024

I love 80's music, but i've never listened to this british band before and for what i listen in this album they were a really talented band, specially with that new wave style. The riffs and synths here are really cool!! Of course some songs are better then others, my favorites were "Poppies" and "Thief Of Baghdad". I personally noticed something that maybe it's an illusion of mine that is not very important but in some songs the voice of Julian Cope sounded a bit like David Bowie.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 12 2024

I don't know why, but this album didn't catch much my attention, it's funk and i felt the vibe in some songs, but it's definitely not the best album i've listen.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jan 15 2024

Talking about the album cover i have to say that i love the simplicity of it, just playing with the size of the typography and one yellow line, and that with a black background, love it. Now, talking musically OMG the sound of this is amazing, i love that it's not repetitive at all, every single song here is unique but still it doesn't lose their style, which i find fascinating.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jan 16 2024

A different style for Earth, Wind and Fire, with jazzy and soul songs that i think i liked. Another thing it's that it's not hard to listen cause it doesn't last long and the songs are enjoyable

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 17 2024

Ok, so, I like Deep Purple, but i think that many of the songs here have really long guitar solos, it's like "ok fine, you know how to play on live".

90 by 808 State
Jan 18 2024

It got me bored soo easily and soo quickly that shocks me. I mean, it's just a pure weird instrumental thing i don't understand maybe because i'm not a fan o this type of music. It might be great in a party with lots drugs and teens there. So no, i don't think this good.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 19 2024

Ok, so, this album has interesting songs, i don't think they're bad cause there were some songs that made me move my head a bit. But also in some part of the album i was like "when is this going to get over?!" because it felt like the exact same song, just different leatrics. Not completely bad, not completely good.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jan 22 2024

I love the 80's, but specifically the year of 1985 'cause for some reason most of the songs of that year are GOLD, and this album was release in that year, which means that indeed it's pure GOLD. I think that Tears for Fears it's an amazing band, with amazing songs and this particular album shows it, you can listen different "styles" and rhytms but they never lose their essence, and that for me it's a complicated thing to do, but this guys know how yo do this well. Also, another thing that this album has is that even tho some songs here are long lasting, they don't feel like it 'cause they are soo well made that you don't realise in what moment you listen a song that last more than 6 minutes, and of course i know that there are songs that last much more than that, but i also know that there are songs that last 3 minutes and feel soo long and not because they are good. Long story short, Tears For Fears it's such an AMAZING band and this album shows it in every single song.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jan 23 2024

It's good for a debut album, even tho it's not the most shocking debut album. The songs are pretty forgettable, but there are some that are good, my personal favorites are Anything That's Rock N' Roll and American Girl. It's not really hard to listen 'cause it last a bit more than 30 minutes, so that gives it a bit of a point.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 24 2024

Just giving this 2 stars for how weird and strange it is. Not something that anyone is used to listen. Also, the cover it's interesting and out of the things we are used to see, like just a picture of the artist, with a filter and the title of the album. Even tho, it's a bad album.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jan 25 2024

When i saw the album cover and the title i never thought It would be the kind of music that is in there. I mean, it's not bad at all, but it doesn't give you the surprising new stuff for a debut album.

Blur by Blur
Jan 26 2024

Of course Song 2 is a classic, that's for sure and maybe the greatest song of the album, even tho there are some other songs that sound great but it didn't exactly shocked me. It's a cool album.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 29 2024

I have a thing that I don't like when i listen to really long instrumentals, it's not that I hate it, I just don't like it completely and this album Is bassically just pure instrumental jazz. I won't say that it's bad, 'cause you can listen to the experimentation here and it's kind of nice, but i felt like I was stuck in an elevator for 35 minutes.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jan 30 2024

It's relaxing, it's cool, it's unique, even tho I'm not a fan of that kind of music i liked it, it was soo different from de music i usually listen that i think it was really cool

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 31 2024

Not familiar to rap music, but i definitely know that i don't like it, I guess that it might be good for the colabs with know rap artist, but idk, it's really not my type at all.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Feb 01 2024

I think i'm starting to hate electronica soo much. I mean, this album is supposed to be iconic because is maybe one of the first albums that was release of the genre but this honestly sounds like an arcade game music, every single song is needlessly long, cause is the same thing over and over for 6 to 9 minutes each song, like GOD PLEASE STOP, i understood the idea the first 3 minutes of your song.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 02 2024

I think that is 40 minutes of the exact same thing over and over again just with different leatrics. I read a review that this album was like sitting around a campfire with Springsteen, and yes, it's exactly that. I don't think Is completely bad, but it's definitely not good at all, kind of boring and in a way I understand the idea he had, but no, it didn't work.

Heroes by David Bowie
Feb 05 2024

Bowie is a legend, and every album that he did has at least one hit on it, for me, Heroes (that is a classic) and Beauty and The Beast are the good ones here, even tho the other songs are really cool. I'm only giving this 4 stars because of the extensive instrumentals in the end, not saying that they aré bad because they have a unique style and they're not repetitive, but it's not exactly my thing

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Feb 06 2024

The harmonica doesn't work for me, I have to be honest that it was a bit annoying listen to it in most of the song, even tho, I think that the leatrics an maybe de vocals helped this album a lot. Also, I think that this album doesn't sound like the 60's (the decade this was release) it sound a bit more like 70's, so that gives it one more star for me

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Feb 07 2024

I think that Kate Bush is soo underrated 'cause she has a very unique and iconic voices with just one note that she sings. I don't exactly know what to think about this album cause i'm actually not a fan of this particular music, even tho i think that is weird but is not bad at all. I think that the experimental stuff was sometimes great, sometimes not.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Feb 08 2024

This is controversial for me, 'cause i like that it doesn't sound like the classic 2000's and that it sound more like the 60's, but at the same time it gets me bored that it's basically all the same thing over again and that it's soo calmed gets me a little bit bored and sleepy to be honesta, i would give it 1 star, but i'm giving it 2 for the thing i said first that it doesn't sound like the classic 2000's

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Feb 12 2024

This album is great, enjoyable, relaxing, cool, has everything on it. I'm suprised how this album was the eighteen studio album of Stevie Wonder, and how essential it was for his career. LOVELY!!

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Feb 13 2024

What an incredible band The Police is! I liked this album really much! And even tho there are some songs that aren't great, with this album they showed that they really knew how to do music, or maybe they didn't, but they were really good and Sting has one of the most iconic voices in the industry.

The La's by The La's
Feb 14 2024

Meh, that's all i'll say

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 15 2024

Every single song is a masterpiece, Eddie definitely knew how to play that guitar SOO GOOD! LOVE HIM, i know that the hole group is not just only Eddie, but he definitely gives a hole vibe to this album. The vocals, the rhytms, the solos, EVERYTHING PERFECT!

Feb 16 2024

I didn't find anything special about this album, for me it felt like every song that would be a classic of the 2010 but with no "personality". It's not a bad album, i expected a bit more.

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 19 2024

Fistly i'm suprised that the original name of the album is not "The White Album", it's just "The Beatles". Musically it's a masterpiece, The Beatles never disappoints with their music, they can make different rhytms and music genres without stop sounding like themselves. LOVED THIS ALBUM!

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 20 2024

Ok, so, i've saw this album soo many times in different things and places, never in my life listed to it until now, and i'm actually very suprised about this. I nearly knew every song here! It's just full of hits for me, while i was listening to it i danced and even sang some of the songs that were here, that made me love it. Without a doubt i can say this is one of the greatest albums of that decade and even of history. I'm not related yo this type of music, that's why i actually didn't knew how many stars put it, but less than 5 stars was fair.

American Idiot by Green Day
Feb 21 2024

I guess that this album is significant for all of the war that was in the decade of 00's in the US. It has really cool songs, I loved every single transition on it, just perfect! I really have to say that all the emo themed songs of the 00's is really cool for me.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 22 2024

I think that i've never un my life listened to Pixies, or at least any song of this album. I liked it! They have really good songs and for being one of the first bands who gave us Alternative Rock, makes me love this album even more.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Feb 23 2024

Felt repetitive most of the time and also it felt really long, even tho is not completely bad.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Feb 26 2024

I was only related to the song "Get It On" 'cause i've listened to it a few times. The album has good songs, good vocals, good rhytms. Yeah... it'll pass.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Feb 27 2024

It's Elton John! His music is amazing and his voice it's simple unique, no one like him. Most of the songs here are really great and i enjoyed them. Another thing that I have to say is that the cover for me it's really great, I like the monocromatic use of blue color and the typography.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Feb 28 2024

I really like her voice, even tho this album didn't catched me at all, maybe because i think that is repetitive in some parts.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 29 2024

This album is really cool to listen, i think that it has really cool songs on it. Early punky style, love it.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 01 2024

I was boring in parts, but i like the sound in some songs, like "Crosseyed and Painless" and "The Great Curve".

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 04 2024

It has cool songs on it, but at the same time I don't feel that has something that makes it special of other albums of their style. A personal thing Is that I really like the cover, it's nice.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 05 2024

I mean, it's cool in some ways like that it includes many variants of rock, even tho I'm some songs it's boring, but in some others it's great. Not too bad for 1 star, but not too great for 5 stars.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Mar 06 2024

Nothing special about this, maybe just the first song is great.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 07 2024

I'm really trying to like funk, i swear! But i can't. It's, good...? I think...

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Mar 08 2024

It's cool! I think i kind of like it. Just a plus star 'cause i liked de art cover.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Mar 11 2024

I really wish I liked Stevie Wonder more, cause I know he's a really amazing artist with a unique voice, but it's not the style of music i like.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Mar 12 2024

It has some cool songs, not my favorites album but i'll pasa

Play by Moby
Mar 13 2024

Repetitive most of the time, that made me get bored at the middle of it, but i have to say that it's not bad, but there was nothing special for me to love this.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Mar 18 2024

OMG PRETENDERS! I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU! It's honestly one of the greatest debut albums i've listen of this list. Amazing album!!

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 19 2024

This is just beautiful, this is the exact kind of jazz that i would listen without any trouble. The voice of Ella Fitzgerald is such an amazing thing, i love it, but i think that 3 and a half hours of this is a bit too much for me. Besides that this album is really, really great.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 20 2024

I've never listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers before, and i think i liked it. It has one of the sexiest base i've ever listen.

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 21 2024

I don't think that I'm a fan of Joy Division, but i know they're not bad, they have cool songs in this album.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 22 2024

I really like the samples here, they're really cool. The only thing I dislike about this album is that is repetitive sometimes and a bit of the shouting. Cool album.

Debut by Björk
Mar 25 2024

A very unique voice, that's for real. Besides of that i didn't find anything that makes this album special, but it good for a debut album.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 26 2024

Nothing special really, even tho i like that is not very repetitive considering that is kind of electronica music (which i paticulary don't like)

Movies by Holger Czukay
Mar 27 2024

I'm not the type of person that likes experimental music and also not the type of person that likes very long instrumentals pauses, this album is the exact combination of both things, but i don't think that is bad, i can tell that it has potencial, but it's honestely not my thing.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 28 2024

Pretty much the same in every song, nothing really special about this, but it has a bit of potential, just a bit.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 29 2024

When i saw that this album had really long song i was a bit "scared" because most of songs that i've listen on this list that last more than 7 minutes are pretty much shit, but believe me this is not the case, it's such relaxing music that you forget that there's a song that last 12 minutes. For me it was kind of like a chill morning album, it's really great.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Apr 01 2024

I honestly wish I liked jazz more than I do, because this for me had nothing special, I can appreciate the musicanship and all of that here, but it was annoying when it sounded like if the piano, the sax or the bass where on their own.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Apr 02 2024

This is the second album of Beastie Boys that i've listen of this list, the first one was Paul's Boutique and i have to say that this album has nothing to be with Paul's Boutique and that was great for me, 'cause I thought that this was going to be screams all the time, but it wasn't and i liked that there were some songs that were just instrumental. This is a really cool album, I like it.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Apr 04 2024

I love heavy metal, but this was a bit too much for me. I think their drums and guitars are great.

Achtung Baby by U2
Apr 05 2024

I think U2 it's one of the best bands i've listen and also Bono's voice is really iconic and unique. I like that this album was different from the sound they used in the 80's, the energy of pop but still having the essence of rock, a great start for 90's rock. Even tho is a bit experimental (i think) is really cool, i like it pretty much.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 08 2024

This is a really cool debut album, love all the indie rhytms here. Maybe i expected a bit more 'cause in some songs it felt kind of repetitive, but is really cool.

Apr 09 2024

Not a fan of hip-hop really, i get the vibe and all of that here, but this is full of homophobia and misogyny. Why is this here?

Teen Dream by Beach House
Apr 12 2024

I only knew one song of this and just because of a tiktok trend and that song it's not even good at all. The hole album feels repetitive, good for background sound only.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Apr 15 2024

Not something i'm used to listen, it's actually one of the music genres i dislike, but this album is kind of great and also is really easy to listen 'cause is not very long lasting. Personally i don't think this is really great, but it has some good songs in it.

Scum by Napalm Death
Apr 18 2024

I love heavy metal, and i know why people don't like this album 'cause it's actually not really easy to listen if you don't like the genre. In certain way i liked it, but i'm the very end of the album i was asking for it to just stop. I like that this album sounds like heavy metal of the 00's, so that's great for an album that was made in 1987.

Apr 19 2024

Cool songs here, got the vibe, but hip hop is not my thing. Maybe it's just me but i felt this really long lasting.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 22 2024

It's never a bad time to listen to Pink Floyd, one of the most amazing bands that exists and obviously this album is one of the most iconic ever made by them. Vocals, drums, guitars and bass just perfect in almost every song, but also the transitions to one song to another are beautiful in every possible way. Really great album.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Apr 24 2024

I liked it, i found this kind of relaxing and that's beautiful, even tho i also think that this album can be really forggetable for their repetitive vocals, but it's not bad at all
