D great way to start the day!!
4/5
Radio has ruined this one a bit because I have heard these tracks thousands of times but the less known tracks were worth it and overall it is a great album
Grizzly Bear
2/5
This one was not for me. It’s a strange combination of folk and psychedelic rock that feels like it works musically but the vocals and lyrics did not feel attached to the rhythms for me. It felt more like an experiment then a finished product in my opinion
Dusty Springfield
5/5
This was a really fun throwback. Quintessential doo wop album
Led Zeppelin
5/5
This one is a classic. Very enjoyable from start to finish
Roxy Music
3/5

OG rocker

Very bluesy - I liked it
Pearl Jam

One of the best of the 90s

I can appreciate the musical talent but the vocals are incomprehensible unfortunately

5/5
Great big band sound
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
I feel like this sounded like a Quentin Tarantino film from the 90s as an album.
Ramones
2/5
I understand the significance of this album to pop music as a whole but it felt very repetitive. The same handful of chords and very similar rhythm lines throughout. Not one of my favs on the list so far
The Byrds
3/5
Classic 60s pop rock sound
Pixies
4/5
This was an unexpectedly awesome album. I thought for sure this had come out 10 years later than it did just because the sound was so modern. I guess they were the genre defining act that everyone tried to emulate tho. Great album
The Rolling Stones
5/5
Classic stones!! What a great way to start my week!
Doves
3/5
Sounds like the inspiration for Coldplay
Lou Reed
3/5
Good album. Lou Reed is not really my flavor but he is clearly very talented

3/5
Mr. Spaceman is good. It is a pretty trippy album overall

4/5
Great party album!! Took me back to the block parties in the early 90s!

Very interesting. I am glad I listened to it but I will probably never hear it again
Van Morrison
4/5
One of the best live albums I’ve heard!
Blur
4/5
Classic 90s stuff. I only knew the 1 major single heading into this album but I really liked all the tracks overall

Classic 90s hip hop before the west coast sound blew up.
Boston
5/5
Awesome 70s sound!

4/5
I have always felt like this was an underrated album. Happy to come across it here
Cat Stevens
4/5
This was a great morning listen. Very relaxing
The Vines
3/5
They sound like the inspiration for The Strokes. Good album
Neneh Cherry
3/5
I had previously only heard 1 song off this album but I was surprised at how serious the tone actually was. The music sounds like 90s pop/r&b but the lyrics cover a wide range of serious topics
Buena Vista Social Club
4/5
This was a super fun listen! Perfect for the summer in my opinion
GZA
4/5
The absolute best of Wu-Tang in my opinion!
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
This one didn’t do much for me. I can hear the inspiration it has over the 90s pop rock sound though
Kraftwerk
3/5
Very interesting early techno
Charles Mingus
2/5
Jazz do be jazzin
Amy Winehouse
4/5
A true classic sound with a very modern edge for the time. We lost a unique voice when we lost amy
Michael Jackson
4/5
Classic MJ!
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
This is a great 90s rock album!
Ray Price
3/5
This had a nice sound. Like sad cowboy blues but a polished 60s vibe. I enjoyed it but do not know it it will be added to my rotation
Sisters Of Mercy
3/5
Very clear inspiration for bands like Type O Negative. I like the edgy, early industrial stuff though
Dagmar Krause
2/5
Ok- this one was some kind of crazy, German musical theater soundtrack or something. The music sounded like it was the inspiration for the final fantasy video game soundtracks which was pretty cool though
Harry Nilsson
4/5
This one was really awesome. An artist I was not familiar with, but an album I will listen to again for sure.
Van Morrison
4/5
Classic. Great album all around
Stan Getz
3/5
This is like hard core elevator music. Imagine an elevator by a pool at a tropical resort. This album is playing
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
Classic. This is a great one to experience again
Marvin Gaye
3/5
Very nice and relax My r&b album
Scissor Sisters
3/5
This was a nice surprise. They have a very mixed/classic 70s sound with a modern edge. The comfortably numb cover has a disco vibe but the vocal melody felt off
Talking Heads
4/5
Great album. I have heard this band but never listened to an entire record and it was awesome!

Great guitar rock album!

4/5
This one is a classic in pop music!
Iron Maiden
2/5
I can see why it’s in the list but it’s not for me
Johnny Cash
5/5
The perfect album for my day today. Even though these are all covers, johnny cash recording these tracks in the twilight of his life and presenting them in this order is true art.
Marianne Faithfull
2/5
Interesting new wave sound but I don’t love the quality of the vocals unfortunately. I found them more distracting than engaging
Aphex Twin
1/5
Interesting but it was literally just sound so it didn’t click with me
The Cure
3/5
This was a good album. I have only heard their radio songs before this so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed their other work
Death In Vegas
2/5
Pretty I retesting overall. Kind of feels like the gorillas with a lot less lyrics
Fiona Apple

Really great album. She has such a range of emotion in her voice that pairs so perfectly with the music and the poetry of her lyrics that is unlike any other artist
Leftfield
3/5

Great album by a great artist. I had never heard this one but I did enjoy it very much

3/5
This was a good one. Never heard of these guys but I enjoyed this album

Classic hip hop from a time when finding poetry in the genre was not easy. Price Paul’s beats are also so iconic and distinct that they instantly transport you back to the 90s
