The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

3/5 It's alright, with hits like "Take Me Out" and "This Fire", its not doubt a classic thrash rock album, but I'd rather personally listen to The Kooks, Interpol, or Bloc Party. Its still a decent album but not something I'd listen to regularly.

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

5/5 A classic punk rock album, Green Day's third studio album and their breakout album. This album bangs from beginning to end and showcases what Green Days sound really is.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

3/5 Blues isn't my thing, but Blueberry Hill and Blue Monday are standouts on this album (almost half of it was unavailable to listen to on spotify). It is however important to achknowledge the importance that Fats and other black musicians had in the evolution of Rock & Roll and R&B.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

4/5 Hugely influential Hip Hop from the 90's, I can imagine the records scratching and how much fun was had recording this, in addition to the cultural impact this had (and which is still relevant)

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Clandestino

Manu Chao

5/5

5/5 This is the perfect vibe for a hostel, and I love the soundbits scattered throughout the entire album. Quintessential Mexican music, I was bopping my head through almost every track.

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

4/5 Love Bob Dylan, its not "completely" my thing but it is easily listening and Bob's influence on rock and roll in the 20th century is easily noticeable

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

4/5 An extremely catchy breakthrough album for a white hip/hop group, lots of trash talking and good vibes from the beastie boys (and theres a boeing 727 on the album cover, so +5 points)

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

5/5 Amazing prog rock, drop a tab and put this in. Choppy synth, very good beats, and a god damn saxophone solo, this makes you see wonder in just about everything.

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

2/5 Pretty crunchy guitar and catchy raw synth, but JFC the vocals are so poorly recorded, and some of the solos are just drowned out by the generally really bad mixing and recording quality, catchy but generally pastiche/uninspiring for a mid 80's New Wave/Electronic album.

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

3/5 Good chill relaxing music, it really improves later into the album, the first half is personally a drag for me.

Guero

Beck

3/5

3/5 Groovy rock and hip hop, very Gorillaz-y, hence kind of generic because of this. Not my favorite from Beck personally

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

4/5 Classic Classic rock, pretty easy to listen to each song and f ull of classics

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

5/5

5/5 Ska-ey and hip hop-ey, love it

Debut

Björk

5/5

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

5/5 Amazing early pop album, I do indeed need a (wo)man after midnight

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

4/5

Violent Femmes

4/5

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

Amazing Prog Rock, Genesis is full of musical legends, and this stands out there as one of the definitive rock groups of all time.

The Blueprint

JAY Z

4/5

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

3/5 Not my favorite early pop-rock experience, it feels like a muted beatles experience, and the beatles pre-drugs are not particularly inspiring nowadays, let alone the costco brand version

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

2/5

Not my jam, fear of a black planet was more enjoyable imo

Dire Straits

5/5
