On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

4/5

I can see why Janis Joplin became such a popular artist and went solo. Such a powerful voice. The band overall was good, but they do sound like so many other bands of the era. Janis steals the show though.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

2/5

This album feels really dated. Never been a Beastie Boys fan and I'm still not. But I can appreciate it's place in music for what it is and was during the era.

Iron Maiden

3/5

Bands that would have never existed without Black Sabbath. It's got it's place in time, but it's not a timeless album. I can hear how this album is well placed between Black Sabbath and the underground LA metal scene of the 80s that brought out the Big 4 of the era.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

2/5

Most all the songs sounded the same. I will say that Willie is a pretty good story teller though. I can see why he holds a special place in the 20th century musical lore.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Classic album.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

1/5

I really didn't care for this album at all. Her voice was often off key and the instrumentation was annoying. So far, my least favorite album.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

I can hear how it may have influenced other musicians and how existed between rock and pop of the era. Sounds a decade or so ahead of it's time. Really has a more prog pop rock feel to it.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

One of the best albums of all time.

The Cars

4/5

I've heard a number of these songs over the years and had no idea they were all from the same album. Pretty good debut album. If I would have guessed, I would have said it was from the 80's. That was a trailblazing album I guess.

Scott 2

Scott Walker

1/5

Really dated. Didn't care for a single song on the album.

Follow The Leader

Korn

4/5

Great album. Brings back lots of memories.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Good album. Lots of classics.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Get It On is definitely the highlight of the album. Okay bluish feel to the rest of the songs. I can understand why it was popular in its day.

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

Not good.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Some interesting stuff on there.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

1/5

I tried. This album is awful. Like zero stars awful.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Pretty solid album. Some good songs on there.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

1/5

This album is terrible, only worse.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

1/5

Elevator music

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Short album, but had some good tunes on it.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

2/5

Meh. 80s music at its core.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

Some good beats on there. He's got flow.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Some bangers on there.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

IMO one of the 25 best albums of all time.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Alright, but really short.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

5/5

Love this album.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

2/5

Not my thing

Talvin Singh

2/5

Weird

Faust IV

Faust

2/5

This is like early prog rock. Very weird and not very interesting.

Live!

Fela Kuti

4/5

Pretty good live album. The drum solo was epic. Really cool twist on jazz.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

I appreciate it for what it is, but not my thing.

Spiderland

Slint

2/5

I can hear it's influence on the era, but it's a horrible mixing job and often feels confused and a little lost.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

2/5

Early gangster rap is pretty funny. Ice T spells a lot of words out to make rhymes, like "The I, the C, the E, the T," or "M-I-C." And apparently everyone was trying to kill him.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Thelonious was definitely one of the greatest.

Slipknot

4/5

Good album.

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

1/5

Trash

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

It was alright. I wasn't alive when it came out, so I don't know if it was a new sound at the time, but it's very similar to many other bands.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

This isn't anything unique. It's rather like a dull version of Tom Petty.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

A kind of worse version of Depeche Mode.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

3/5

Interesting title, but I can see why they didn't catch on in America.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Not as good as I remember, and definitely not their best album.

Le Tigre

1/5

Well, this is some, "What in the holy indie band crap is this?"

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

Beautiful voice. Very Ella Fitzgerald style vibes.

Led Zeppelin

5/5

One of the greatest first albums from one of the greatest bands ever.

The Band

3/5

Interesting, dated, country'ish stuff

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Meh

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

2/5

Weird album. Never understood the popularity of the Flaming Lips

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Classic motow

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

It's hard say it's a great album, but it's good. Or rather, maybe it more nostalgia than makes it good.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

There are a few good songs, but this album is just okay.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

Didn't know I have heard a few of these songs. Some are catchy, but a little more pop'ish than I generally listen to.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

It's like... Noise.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

That's a very 80's album.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

It's for sure a classic album, one that will be enjoyed for a long time by many people. As for my personal tastes, I never understood why he was such a an icon. His music is alright and his singing is unique and impressive, but it's not something I go out of my way to listen to or even choose to.

Os Mutantes

3/5

Interesting sounds. Some dynamic, inventive tunes given the era it was produced. I just wish I knew what they were singng about.

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

A few good songs surrounded by weirdness

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

2/5

Good album, but it's strange that the sound wasn't as inventive or distinct as the last Beatles phase.

Elvis Presley

4/5

Never listened to a full Elvis album. I can understand his popularity a lot better. Dude had chops.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

Easily one of the worst albums I've ever heard.

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

2/5

It's an album that is too late to be unique. Just sounds like your run of the mill early 60s album.

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Beyond the two popular songs which had a different sound and feel to them, the rest of the album was meh.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

2/5

Alright.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Dudea got soul!

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

4/5

Good album. They really improved their style and sound over the years. May not have the same catchiness and earlier release, but lots of technical improvements

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Classic rap album.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

1/5

Music that would played at Guantanamo Bay.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Otis Redding... The king of writing songs that people don't realize he wrote.

London Calling

The Clash

3/5

Some interesting songs that clearly draw playfully on other genres.

Tommy

The Who

2/5

I still have yet to understand The Who's popularity, especially with this album. I don't get it.

The Clash

3/5

Better than the other clash album I listened to, but after a few songs, it was hard to tell them apart. A lot of similar sounding songs.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Super short album. All the songs were short, like it was inspired by the 50s, which a lot of sound seemed to pull from. Reminded me of Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack...

Dire Straits

2/5

Kinda boring. It's like edgy dentist office music.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

1/5

Calenture

The Triffids

1/5

Confused. Country or 80s soft rock.

Graceland

Paul Simon
