Pearl Jam

4/5

Amazing first album to start this journey on. One I already mostly know and love, full of many of Pearl Jams best hits. Somehow I have never heard Release before, and that was a great discovery!

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Not an album I've ever listened to before, I thought it was pretty good. Just not what I was in the mood for today. Not what I expected based on my limited listening time with The Cure.

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

There's a lot of timeless hits in here, and a surprising number of songs that really aren't hits.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

This is the first one I've had to listen to twice so far. This is an incredibly well done album with a lot going for it. This is almost certainly the inspiration for a lot of other music that I like.

1999

Prince

4/5

Good stuff

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

First time listening to a full White Stripes album and it was a great experience! What an awesome album!

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

5/5

Complete and utter wizardry, I cannot even begin to imagine what it would have been like in that crowd experiencing this live!

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

5/5

This is an amazing album that does so much awesome stuff. My favourite new album so far on this journey!

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

Very misleading album name because you absolutely can buy a thrill, such as this very album! Great from the start, and an amazing beginning to the band.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Jazz and hip hop fusion? What's not to love!

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

5/5

I don't even need to listen to it again (but I will!) 5 stars. Great album! Love playing songs off this one.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

2/5

Some interesting stuff here, but overall not a great album.

The Man Who

Travis

3/5

It's good background music, but this isn't something I'd want to sit down and listen to on it's own again.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

There's some really good stuff on here! It's a fun album I might come back to.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Amazing album! But very hard to listen to all in one sitting, I've never tried that before. I'm impressed by just how much they have managed to put together with the samples and sounds here. Quite a few I've heard before, and so many completely new ones!

In Utero

Nirvana

3/5

Nirvana has some really good songs, but some of their songs that don't get radio play don't get it for a reason.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

It's fine, my first full Smiths album listen and it's got me feeling a little let down.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

3/5

This is a really good album with an interesting mix of African music with more western styles.

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

This is not an album that has aged well

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Love this album and I have even more of an appreciation for it now that I've seen her live!

The Cars

4/5

Just What I Needed

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

4/5

Sweet albums are made of this

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

It's a good album and I absolutely understand why it is on this list, but I do not personally feel it has aged as well as some of their other music unfortunately.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Love me some Stevie. This is a great one!

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Not their best album, but one of the best first albums of all time. A lot of really good songs on here, but nowhere near as refined as much of their later work.

The Next Day

David Bowie

2/5

It's okay, but this really isn't Bowies best work at all and I'm surprised by its inclusion on this list.

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

The Grateful Dead are fine. This album just doesn't really stand out compared to other similar types of bands.

So Much For The City

The Thrills

3/5

It's okay, they achieved the sound they were trying to get but it's nothing overly special.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

Great album that tells a story throughout. Absolutely love this one, although the middle is a bit weaker.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Another band with a great debut album that just didn't keep the sound up as they got more popular.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Hell yeah this album rocks

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

4/5

It's good

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

1/5

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

2/5

The spotify listening stats show it all, the first song is amazing and the rest are not so great. I'm glad I've listened to this album, but I don't think I will again beyond the first song.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Great album

The Doors

4/5

A few weaker songs in here, but overall this is a great album!

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

2/5

This feels like something to listen to live, not as a recording.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

4/5

This was way better than I was expecting a multi-concert live album to be!

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

2/5

It's good, but an entire album of music like this is not for me. I'd much rather these kinds of songs just mixed in with general listening.

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

The genius of Ray Charles indeed

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Great album, one of the ones I grew up listening to. Nothing better than Born in the USA making fun of some of its biggest fans while they know nothing!

Talvin Singh

4/5

I love this kind of genre and musical culture fusion!

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

3/5

It's a good listen, but I don't think it's overly special.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Even the weakest songs of this album are better than many great songs, it doesn't get much better than this.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Soul is exactly what I wanted to listen to today it seems, great album!

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Not their best album, but this is still a really good one!

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

It's just great to listen to

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

First time listening to a full Cat Stevens album, and it's just a nice chill time with good tunes.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

3/5

This could be a 5 star album if an editor told George no just a little bit

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

As a whole this album is good, but doesn't really have any standout tracks to me. It was great to have on in the background.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

One of the best hip hop albums I've ever listened to. I can't even imagine what it would have been like listening to this when it first came out, and just having your mind blown by it.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

1/5

No thanks

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

4/5

Buncha dudes having fun playing music
