So here we are. The first 10/10 album I have gifted from this list. This album is fantastic on every level. Beautiful song writing, beatiful playing, beautiful story. It is eternal. It is Pink Moon. Would not change a single note. Vinyl purchased day of and listened though back to back.

Overall a pretty cool Punk hip hop fusion album that has some cool moments, but not really and big hits. I do like this album, but don't think it is upper echelon worthy of all the other great albums out there.

While I am biased to this era, this album stands out among the rest. I really fuck with the psychedelic folk feel and the sound stage is just perfect. Has power where it needs it and soft beauty to fill the space. I knew Alone Again Or going into the listen, but did not expect it to blow me away like this. Going to be a must purchase on vinyl and one of those top albums I have heard so far. 9/10

Feels like going 65 mph in a 65mph zone

Perfect introduction to The Who - classic and eternal

Fantastic vibe and great album

Fantastic album and great start to the Metal movement. Heavy Blues Rock with some fantastic themes throughout. Loved it so much I had to get it on Vinyl day of.

If Weezer was a bit more indie and grew up in Nashville. Wayyy too long and boring

Could see how people like this album, but it is just not my vibe

definition of decent album

Really cant stand Bruce Springsteen. Same category as ELO

Fun listen

Solid country rock ass kicking album, but just a bit slower than my speed and no virtuoistic playing

Maggot Brain goes down as one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, but rest of the album struggles

Thought this would be a terrible listen, but honestly some really good stuff on this album

Of the Bowie songs, it has a few

Rush, but worse. Just listen to Rush. A bit of Yes as well

Perfectly mediocre album

2

America from the perspective of Canadians. Concept strung throughout which is cool. Its as if Bob Dylan were a band

This album changed my perspective on this entire project of mine. Wow. Just wow. Such a beautiful gem of an album that sounds like the most beautiful piece of lost media until it hit my ears for the first time.

Not the best album ever, not even a super entertaining listen. Some cool tracks, but nothing to write home about. Strick 2/5

Shockingly amazing album. I know that The Underground has always had a cult following, and I love some of their tunes, but this album shocked me for sure. Extremely tender with well placed energy

Fun album that would be great on a sunny hungover day. Some cool tunes, but nothing that really grabs me

Super high energy rip face album. One of the finer punk albums that I have ever heard. So many cool guitar solos and rythyms

Cool album, but just not my jam

Introduction to the wonderful world of Bob Marley. Reggae is so fucking great.

Most interesting of any album I have heard thus far. Humor album at a Jazz Club, but recorded in the studio. Just for the ambition I have to give it a 2

80s and punk had a baby and this was the result. Unfortunately I don't love either enough to enjoy this album

This album was so important for the scene of music and creates this immaculate vibe. God the Doors are fucking awesome.

This album is such a breath of fresh air. Fucking unbeleiveable musicianship and songs. Heavy as fuck, right in your face, RAAAAAAAAAAA I WANT TO PUNCH A BABY IN THE FACE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Going to have to deep dive early electronica after this one. Not the best album of all time, but is a glimpse into a really cool world that I have never explored

bitter angry album without much of a musical context at all. I don't like it and I don't see how anyone else could either

Super fun listen. Fantastic Motown that makes me want someone special in my life. Fun music

One of the first albums that I have really enjoyed in the vein of true country. No standout tracks, but great listen - calming

Started out great with some awesome tracks, took a detour and landed the plane with some incredible tracks. Not unbeleivavle, not horrible. The tender stuff is what standsout. "nondepressed Tracy Chapman"

Very sad and depressing album, which is ok because they pull it off so well. Tackles so many themes on the impact of technology over humans. Some fantastic tracks, but not as good as their masterpiece, In Rainbows

I just don't like this kind of punk. It lacks any musical complexity and doesn't have great guitar solos

Can hear the fresh starts of some shoegazie indie stuff in here. Garage rock and some passion behind it. 3/10

The roots of metal music to come with a focus on the punk side of it. Cool to see the how punk influenced the roots of metal. Fun live album, wasn't in the mood for it

Vocals are a bit strange and lacking, but the overall chill vibe of the record makes it captivating. Solid.

Good prog. Classic Prog sound, but unfortuanately I don't love love prog rock. I can get halfway there with a band like Rush and some Yes tunes, but mostly it goes over my head

Reminded me of why I love Rock so damn much. This album surprised me to say the least. I mean I knew that I liked the Dire Straits, but I had never sat through this album in particular before. Every song fucks. Gonna have to go pick this one up at the record store tomorrow...

I don't think this one stacks up to their original, but definetly has some great hits in it. Riders on The Storm is a fantastic tune and it set a nice vibe

Don't love the industrial sound of this album. Reeks of a genre of music that never came to be. Not much enjoyable about the music itself

Lorde has a very unique voice in the world of pop. She is super interesting compared to other pop artists that I have grown to dislike. That being said, pop just isn't for me. It is the epitome of why I dislike modern popular music

So here we are. The first 10/10 album I have gifted from this list. This album is fantastic on every level. Beautiful song writing, beatiful playing, beautiful story. It is eternal. It is Pink Moon. Would not change a single note. Vinyl purchased day of and listened though back to back.

Overall a pretty cool Punk hip hop fusion album that has some cool moments, but not really and big hits. I do like this album, but don't think it is upper echelon worthy of all the other great albums out there.

This is Kanye's masterpiece and it includes his magnum opus and the greatest rap song ever made, Runaway. This album is the peak of Hip Hop and changed my life. Not perfect, but so so so close.

My favorite non Marley Reggae album that I have ever listened to. Some very cool tracks and overall solid "take a hit of this man" vibe. Tackles concepts of Jamaica and reeks of Kingston

First track is an absolute journey and this is an interesting side of Rush. I don't think it stacks up to Moving Pictures, but a fun listen with a lot of good tracks

Bowie bowie and more bowie. The best of the Bowie albums, but still bowie.

This album is one of the most pivotal in the history of music. It paved the way not only for revolver, but showed big bands that they could experiment with music that is not conventional for the masses. It is the Beatles "Cannabis" album and the vibe is so money. In My Life and Norwegian Wood are 10/10 tracks and the supporting cast from the rest of the list is great too. The first Bealtes album in the Chronology that is a 'must listen,' and easily falls in my top 3 beatles albums ever. A couple tracks make this not a 10/10, but it is a very very high 9

It is a cool album and worth the listen, just doesn’t float my boat

I am on an absolute heater of great music right now. This is another one of those fantastic albums that paved the way for so much more of what I like and love. Clapton's most psychadelic piece. Soooooo busting

Great break from rock and roll into some solid big band Jazz. A wonderful playlist for a quick study session or throwing on a suit

Coming into this one with a bit of knowledge about the album beforehand. This is the peak of western music and contains some of the greatest country songs ever made. Get me a pint of golden water and a cowboy hat - yeeeeeeehawww

Great sounding album, best audio I have heard out of a punk album, but again this style of music isn't really my jam. I like that all the songs sound similar. All around solid 90s album that is worth the listen

This album sounds like you are having a party with every person in your life that you dislike. Surrounded by those that annoy you, this party doesn't even have punch. The recording is the thoughts going through your head as you sit there pissed off and angry

I know that I will be echoing a lot of people's words, but this album is fucking awesome. Super unique, but somehow familiar all the same. Some of the most beautiful and poignant piece arranged. A fantastic place to start into the world of international music and how language isn't a mandatory requirement for understanding music itself. A must listen to album. Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. 2nd 10/10 album on this list

Pretty unique album that blends a lot of different international sounds into one stage, but doesn’t have the punch that some of the upper echilon bums have. 7/10

Glad I got the chance to listen to this album, but it din't knock my socks off. Solid, but just another 90s garage rock band

Surprisingly really good Punk album. I was expecting just another run of the mill heat of the movement record, but this one combines a lot of different sounds into its completion and I like the blend of psych, blues, punk, and surf

Classic early 70s rock / psych rock combo with some sweet sound stages and killer jams. Not as sophistocated as some other albums, but that is okay. Does its job and does it well. 7/10

I really dislike pop music done like this. For the masses and it shows. Not much artistry at all

Just not my jive here. Not the best Arctic Monkeys album and a roadbump along the path of this project

I know that this rating will catch me some flack, but while I fucking love Bob Dylan, this album just doesn't do it for me. Like a Rolling Stone is great, but there are many duds. Good closing. An album of all the albums

Same issue ive had with other Punk albums. A bit too angry without musical prowess. Interesting, but not amazing

I liked this country album even though country isn't my hallmark genre of music. Cool to see the roots of that movement in the 70s and her voice is beautiful

Out there psych rock from the late 60s. Fun listen, but not the best album I have ever heard. Some tunes are very unique and you can tell various influences. 7/10

The roots of many Shoegaze / Dream Pop albums to come. Super cool layering on each song throughout and the atmosphere of the album is unique and sublime. Overrated, but solid 8/10

Adele's voice is amazing and this is one of her better albums for sure. For me being a non-pop fan, I did enjoy this listen and Someone Like You is an absolute classic. Might be the highest rating that a modern pop album receives on this journey 6/10

While I am biased to this era, this album stands out among the rest. I really fuck with the psychedelic folk feel and the sound stage is just perfect. Has power where it needs it and soft beauty to fill the space. I knew Alone Again Or going into the listen, but did not expect it to blow me away like this. Going to be a must purchase on vinyl and one of those top albums I have heard so far. 9/10

On another huge streak! Fantastic album, up there with the best Jazz ever put to record. This certainly makes the list for the "Mount Rushmore" of jazz along with Kind of Blue. Coltrane's magnum opus and a must listen if you want to rate and music whatsoever to my face

Creedence Clearwater Revival is a consistent star in my lineup of musical knowledge. The tracks they produced are just so much fun but also have that bluesy grit of the late 60s psych rock movement. The only issue I have with their albums are they they are often pretty short and their hits are spread out over 5-6 amazing albums. Wonderful follow up to their debut and contains Proud Mary, which if you don't like, I likely don't like you! 7/10.
