Most of the album is very slow compared to the Sledgehammer hit

3/5

Kinda cool album… reminds me of someone but can’t put my finger on who…

Cool bands, cool songs, I dig The Cramps goth rockabilly punk vibes.

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

3/5

Not bad, but not sure I would listen again.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

A classic hard rock/heavy metal album, Highway Star is an instant classic, with howling vocals and organ solos. The whole album is easy to rock out to.

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Didn’t know Frank Black was from the Pixies. I like the Pixies. Didn’t mind this album. I don’t know if I would listen again tho.

Master Of Puppets

Last album with the great Cliff Burton, Metallica just kept getting better until The Black Album. Not my favorite Metallica album, but a definite heavy metal classic.

2112

Rush

5/5

Amazing progressive rock master piece. This changed the landscape of hard rock in the 70s.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Love this funky album

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Paul Simon never ceases to amaze me. I love their music. You can tell on this album they shifted towards “hippy-ness”.

The Score

Fugees

5/5

Wow I’ve never listen to this album and know little about Fugees but this was awesome, a great mix of rap & R&B, love Lauryn Hill’s voice

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Cool concept album of this century.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Lots of fillers on this album but there’s still so many iconic songs not to rate this album 5/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

I wish I liked this more, I feel like it could be cool. But it’s so fucking boring. It’s literally under a playlist called “Nap Time” on Apple Music lmao.

Joanna Newsom

3/5

Did y’all know she’s married to Andy Sandburg lol. The album was cool to listen to once, I feel like it all sounds the same after a while.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

Ugh I love Radiohead’s Kid A, Ok Computer and The Bends, but I’ve never really gotten into this album. Not sure how much I like it either.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

This is one of my all time favorite albums and second favorite Iron Maiden album, all songs literally shred. I cried the first time I heard Children of the Damned live.

Thank you for leading my ears to this album!

Done By The Forces Of Nature

3/5

PERSONALLY, I think there’s more iconic hip hop albums that should be on the list. This one wasn’t bad but relevant? I’m not sure.

Play

Moby

3/5

3.5 stars. Moby and Fat Boy Slim are total 90s nostalgia.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

2/5

I typically like rock but this is shit. Why is it even on this list.

3/5

3.5 there’s definitely some hits on the album but all these old hip hop albums sound very repetitive. It’s the same beat over and over.

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

3/5

It’s pretty good! I think I would listen to this again when needing to concentrate!

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

3/5

3.5, I’m surprised I’ve never heard of Laura Nyro. She’s has the same sound as Carol King and Carly Simon, maybe just not as iconic.

Gorillaz

4/5

Ahhh I thought I’d like this more being a blur fan but there’s a lot of experimental songs. Still good though.
