3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

I found this to be a fun vibe! Just 3 friends fucking around. Not necessarily something I'll come back to, but definitely in the upper percentile of things to come out of long island.

3/5

Fine I guess. There's a layered sound here that could be interesting but I just find it to be too cold. Idioteque is a total banger though

Dudes rock

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

These boys are so beastie

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Have not listened to much Stevie Wonder but felt this was very strong. Cool sound across the board, love a lot of the little synthesizer parts. Pulls in some elements of social commentary too. Deserves it's place on the list

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

2/5

Lacking any big hook to pull me in. Probably too long. I support giving your music a weird plot but the sound is just not there to me, it all sorta bleeds together

Pyromania

Def Leppard

5/5

DUDES ROCK

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

Queen has done better. Love Killer Queen & Flick of the Wrist

King Crimson

3/5

A solid album I think! Not necessarily something id seek out but I found it to be a good moody vibe to listen to

The Rolling Stones

You could say that I'm not a Radiohead head

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Neil Young is so good at speaking to heartache and melancholy while also writing an absolute banger. After the Goldrush is better imo, but this is still the guy doing the thing and doing it masterfully

Close To The Edge

Yes

2/5

A nothing album

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

3/5

Not remarkable but I did feel that the vibe was there

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Not a single skip, an absolutely incredible achievement in camp by (as far as we know) straight men.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

1/5

I would like them to stop doing whatever it is that they're doing

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

This is good shit!!! Wasn't IN LOVE with it but a solid album and I enjoyed the listen

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

3/5

An interesting listen, but not something that left much of a mark on me. Definitely cool to hear their stuff knowing how influential they are

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

3/5

Again not super my thing but not bad music by any means

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

Glad to have finally given it a proper listen! A few songs I did recognize, good stuff!

Zappas done better

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Interesting early new wave, not really any major standout songs but I can see it being influential

The White Album

Beatles

1/5

The powers that be have conspired to torture me with this god forsaken noise. For what crime am I subject to this? What a fallen world we live in that this web page subjects me to these annoying little men

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Not top tier Neil Young but still an enjoyable listen

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

3/5

Mixed bag but I did find it an interesting listen

Enjoyed this! Found it to be affecting and a good vibe

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

3/5

Would like it more if it didn't have vocals

Rubber Soul

Beatles

1/5

They can't keep getting away with this

Hysteria

Def Leppard

4/5

A solid album but unnecessary on this list. We don't need a second Def Leppard album, especially when Pyromania does everything this does but better

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

2/5

I found this one largely unremarkable

#1 Record

Big Star

3/5

Better than the other one, didn't need two from these guys

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

3/5

Good not great

Let It Be

The Replacements

4/5

A surprise hit for me! I found this really fascinating. It varies across the board tonally yet comes across as this very genuine portrait of adolescent feeling. There's an almost "Bruce Springsteen goes punk" kind of sound here that I really enjoy. I find the mentions of queerness on "Androgynous" and "Sixteen Blue" really interesting as these offhand feelings that exist in the speakers world. Not a thing id ever check out otherwise but very happy I listened

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

We all know he's done better

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

I find this deeply generic, Neil can and.has done better

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

4/5

A very solid mostly cover album, while I prefer many of the originals Cash's renditions definitely speak from an emotional place

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

Very classic with some mega hits, it had to be on the list

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

Largely very catchy music, interesting as autobiography, the ending is really haunting

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

Interesting and radical. Not something that really stuck in my head musically but I did enjoy the listen and found a lot of the lyrics very cool

Tical

Method Man

Kinda samey all the way through

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

What can I say beyond "music"

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

The platonic ideal of 80s pop yet timeless in its excellence. Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World are all time classics. Head Over Heels is basically my theme song. The Working Hour is hugely underrated. I've loved this album for years and will continue to love it. 47/5 stars

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

3/5

Mostly fun vibe, no standouts for me but solid listen

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

Not really a vibe

Music From Big Pink

The Band

Bad

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

4/5

Really solid stuff! I like the sound a lot and there's a couple really good songs. Very cool distorted/hazy vibes

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

An enjoyable listen, I wouldn't say I have strong thoughts but I found it pleasurable

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Really great sound, Out of the Blue & Into the Black area both iconic. I enjoy both the acoustic & electric halves. Good shit

Crosby, Stills & Nash

2/5

I have nothing to say about this

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

3/5

Interesting, at times sonically interesting. I can see the way this influenced MGMT and similar bands. I like the vibe but nothing besides Broken Heart stands out to me

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

2/5

Not great, gave me a weak Elvis Costello knock off vibe

Marquee Moon

Television
