My Generation

The Who

3/5

Okay, it's The Who. Its a classic. I get it. But I do not feel changed, nor do I feel I absolutely needed to listen to that.

4/5

Did I just enjoy listening to a german construction site ? Yes. Maybe. Probably. Well, I'm still not sure how to feel, but at least it made me feel something, it's really bold, conveys a purpose, and is not another piece of boring bland generic pop/rock music as is so often the case in this selection of albums. I discovered something, and I'm glad I did.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Refreshing, chill.

Different Class

Pulp

2/5

Way too kitsch for me.

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

Noice. The voice, the vibes, the originality.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Old school, some good riffs sprinkled across. The lyrics did *not* age well.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

2/5

Some riffs are good. Like real good. But... I can't stand Bellamy's voice. And the majority of it feels like a reheated mash-up of not even digested inspirations.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

Honestly, boring.

Moby Grape

2/5

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

4/5

Pretty gloomy vibes, such a beautiful voice, nice and slow.

Follow The Leader

Korn

3/5

Wow. I added a few points because of... nostalgia, and maybe the fact that Korn were some kind of precursors, but this album has aged. Some good riffs, maybe two good songs in total, but the rest is disappointing. This should be considered as a stepping stone, that gave birth to new, nice things in metal, but this also should stay in the past.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

Generic 70s rock.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

I did not know his discography well, but it's a catchy record, with a nice blend of funk, pop, disco and r&b, I was pleasantly surprised.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Yet another 70s rock album. Not bad, but did I really have to listen to it before I died ?

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

I do love me some prog rock. And this is kinda quitessential.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

3/5

Not as "experimental" as I anticipated. She has a nice voice, and the album has nice vibes.

Among The Living

Anthrax

2/5

I could not even listen until the end. And I usually love metal. But well. Not this kind apparently, feels like redneck metal somehow.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Is okay. The singing is a bit raspy.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

2/5

Some good parts and ideas, but this is all over the place, and lacks cohesion. This is way too long for what feels like throwing things to a wall and see if it sticks.

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

4/5

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

4/5

An excellent surprise, varied influences, some groove, a good listen.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

For once, a classic I thoroughly enjoyed !

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Great indie album, I still have lots to discover.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

I really can't stand reggae, sorry Bob. I'll rate 2 because that's just a matter of personal taste, and there are MUCH WORSE stuff on this list.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

Kind of okay. Great flow, clean prod, not sure about the rest.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

5/5

Lots of fun and creativity in there ! Great album, great musical journey.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

Again some 70s classic stuff, I'm still not sold, I'm still bored.

My Generation

The Who

3/5

Okay, it's The Who. Its a classic. I get it. But I do not feel changed, nor do I feel I absolutely needed to listen to that.

Low

David Bowie

4/5

Nice ambient/electronica sound, Bowie never ceases to surprise, with each record different from the other, yet distinctly Bowie.

Third

Portishead

2/5

Damn I almost died of boredom ! A meager hope came with the last three songs, but did not manage to wake me up fully.

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

3/5

I... don't really know what to think. It's a nice ambient music ? To listen when doing other things maybe.

The Cars

3/5

Blah blah blah 80s classic rock blah blah blah again blah blah blah some bangers but still not transcended.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Another great album for Led Zeppelin, with great diversity. The second half of the album is not on the same level as the first, but still as good (or even better) as most of the classic rock this list has to offer. If I wanted to nitpick, I'd say this is a 3.8.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

Some folk. Nice, but forgettable.
