Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

4/5

ACAB does NOT include The Police. Fun album with fun songs. Message in a Bottle may overshadow the rest a lot, but songs like Bring On The Night and Walking on the Moon are just as memorable if you ask me.

2112

Rush

5/5

I mean, come on. This is one of the best albums ever made. One of the godfathers of progressive rock, arguably one of the best, most innovative, and most creative bands ever, with this being their magnum opus. The opening suite into Passage to Bangkok is enough to make it an all-timer on its own, and they still have 4 other songs afterward.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

I wasn’t expecting such a long series of instrumentals, but a David Bowie string of no-word songs is definitely on the higher end of enjoyable. Seen as sort of a one-song album, which is understandable given it's one of his biggest hits, but still an overall nice, cozy, complete-sounding project from start to finish.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

One of the greatest on-stage performers ever, doing what he does best. The crowd is rabid, but they quiet down to still hear every word he sings. Barely a half hour, and he's got the crowd eating out of his hand with ease. Not too many others on that level.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Everyone knows this album. Everyone is born knowing this album. Half the songs on this are some of the most well-known hits ever. It's incredible. Easiest 5/5 in the world.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

It’s Michael Jackson, it’s the true beginning of his solo career. We all know how it goes. Classic hits galore, fun deeper cuts, it’s how almost every album of his goes. It's good, but he gets even better.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

This album came out during the unfortunate and not very graceful transition from 80s-90s and I feel that it shows. I only liked really one song off of this. It seemed that they were trying to stick with what they did before while sort of trying some new stuff with it, and it just really didn't make anything too memorable.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn

4/5

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I don't like country music. I'd go as far as to say that I am a country music hater. With the country music I've grown up with, it's easy to see why and how. But THIS??? This is fantastic. The day they stopped making it like this is the day the genre died a grisly death. Straying from this was a massive mistake. This was lovely in every way.

Paris 1919

John Cale

4/5

I am not a fan of the Velvet Underground, so I had a fair bit of apprehension seeing this come up. But this was very good! Pleasantly surprised. I don't have much else to say about it.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

I was not familiar with Sarah Vaughan at all before listening to this. I’m upset I hadn't heard her sooner! She’s absolutely lovely.

Os Mutantes

3/5

I have no idea what they’re saying, and it’s all very weird. But I’m not entirely opposed to it.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

4/5

I like Bob Dylan, I don’t mind his voice. The second set was not enjoyed as much by the people there, but honestly I felt like it was better than the first.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

Good album. Good band. I don’t really have any other notes for this. It’s just a good album, simple as that.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

3/5

I wasn’t expecting to see a glam rock album on here, and while I know some Hanoi Rocks songs, none of them are on this album. It’s alright, nothing extraordinary.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

A solid album (no pun intended) by one of the greats. Simple as that.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

4/5

This was my first time really listening to Join Mitchell. I’m now going to listen to more Joni Mitchell

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

I think I’ll like this more the more I listen to it

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

How have I never heard of these guys before? This is fantastic.

Orbital 2

Orbital

3/5

I had no idea what this was gonna be going into it. This was nice to space out to. Felt like it would just keep on going forever.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

Ah FUCK yeah. Life long Beastie Boys fan. I haven’t heard this whole thing in forever. Best group of white boys ever.

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

While this has the deluxe edition cover, I listened to just the original for the authentic experience (and deluxe culture sucks). Great album, I love prog stuff, Yes is fantastic (and at their best doing prog stuff).

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

Faces

3/5

Nothing too crazy, pretty standard rock n roll album. Rod Stewart isn’t as outwardly horny when he’s in a band.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

5/5

Slayer rules, this album is iconic.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

This was my first time listening to Peter Gabriel in a long-form way. I enjoyed it! I'm sure I'd like his usual, weirder stuff as well.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I was afraid this would drag because of how long it was but I enjoyed it throughout. I like the party feel that the whole album gives off.

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

3/5

This was very 1985

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

5/5

Incredible. Not much else that can be said that hasn’t been said already.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

3/5

A bunch of short songs that sound like they were recorded in a garage. Good times.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

The Black Keys have gone platinum in this household, I know that’s for true

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

One of the best. Easy 5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

You can’t go wrong with Frank. I’m a sucker for anything with horns, so this is a real nice and easy listen

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

The album ending with songs getting shorter and the very last one ending because he ran out of tape is a lost art

Aja

Steely Dan

5/5

I will never understand how Steely Dan is the most 50/50 band when it comes public opinion. How could you NOT love this?????

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

5/5

Never get between someone and how much they wanna say the fuck word.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

3/5

Honestly, this seems like a weird inclusion, seeing as the band themselves weren’t allowed much input on the album. Sure it had success but the band felt a lot of this was filler, and I'd have to agree. It's not terrible, I still enjoyed most of it, but it's still an album mostly dictated by a label rather than the actual musicians.

Rock Bottom

Robert Wyatt

3/5

I don’t really know what this was supposed to be but I enjoyed it

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

4/5

It was fun and had a saxophone in it. That’s all I ask for

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

I think I’d be fine if I never heard shake it off ever again, but the rest is really good.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

Did not expect horns and such on here. Love it

A Date With The Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers

4/5

What do you MEAN Love Hurts has been by the Everly Brothers this whole time???

Femi Kuti

5/5

A straight hour of horns and sax. This was made for me

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Frank was real sad with this one.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

1/5

Normally I like weird and experimental stuff. But this was… I don’t even know. Nothing struck me or stuck with me at all, and there were times I audibly went ‘Oh no’. Not her best

Tommy

The Who

4/5

I do enjoy an album that’s one whole story. Musicianship is just amazing.

Boston

5/5

15/10 no notes.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

4/5

Having not heard much Van Morrison before, this felt like a fantastic intro to his wider discography. Fantastic live shows

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

I love David Bowie and I adore this album.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

3/5

I think this is the newest album I’ve gotten on here now. Surprised I’d never heard of her until now.

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

4/5

Good ol punk goodness I didn’t realize that Corona song was on here

Teen Dream

Beach House

5/5

I am a gigantic fan of dream pop/shoegaze stuff. I’m honestly upset with myself that I’ve never listened to Beach House til now. This was amazing.

Born To Be With You

Dion

3/5

This is alright. I think I prefer his 60s stuff though.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Kinda feel like this album is carried by how good Mrs. Robinson is. The rest isn’t nearly as memorable.

The Man Who

Travis

4/5

Good stuff. Never listened to them before, glad to have more stuff to look forward to

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

3/5

I’m not well versed in techno/house music at all, but it’s nice to vibe and zone out to

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

When I was a kid, I thought this was a greatest hits album. In a way it is, which is just an unreal achievement. Can’t think of anyone else who managed something like this.

Moving Pictures

Rush

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

2/5

This wasn’t BAD but it was very boring. Nothing stuck out to me

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

i was glad when it was finally over

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

He used to be so good man.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

5/5

Don’t think I ever noticed the whispered backing vocals in Master of Puppets. The Thing That Should Not Be is so underrated. It feels kinda weird to say since this album is so incredible and iconic as a whole, but I still feel like this track does not get talked about enough. It’s happened a lot, to a lot of bands, for forever now, but it’s still funny that Metallica is one of those bands that military dudes are super into. The same band that has the song Disposable Heroes. Lmao. For some reason i always think Damage Inc. is on And Justice for All. I don’t know why. James kinds sounds British when whispers the title.
