The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest
First album doing this! Liked this a lot very progressive for 1991, jazzy funky samples and Beats, funny and social commentary lyrics, little known Busta Rhymes at the end. Get the toilet paper because your rhymes are butt. Smooth

I did listen to this as a kid remember Tim had a copy. Appreciate it a lot more now. Beautiful vocals and instrumentation. Possibly one of the best opening songs on an album?

Short and sweet from Bowie during the big coke years. Lots of funk influences and a ten minute title track. TVC15 and title track my faves

D'ya like jazz? Only knew girl from Ipanema from this but my god it was glorious. Silky smooth - interesting reading into the history of bosa nova. Glorious saxophone and vocals.

Bluesy goodness - one of my faves as the opening track. Waiting for the sun felt ahead of it's time. Peace Frog another highlight.

Bit cheeky putting a live album on this list. But a great live album. All the classics. They own the stage. I wouldn't have put this on this list but no disrespect to Thin Lizzy

Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins
On paper this is right up my street. Never listed but prime alt rock. Some insane guitar work in particular the solo on Soma. Dreamy vibes meets punchy rock. I think I will re listen as in parts found a bit difficult to get into.

Queen
First Queen album I've listened to that wasn't a greatest hits. So many great tracks I didn't recognise. Campy and goofy in places in all the good ways. Great harmonies, loved the Roger Taylor led song. Brian May saucey boy

I thought this would just be the title track and a load of filler. Some really hauntingly beautiful tracks on here. What a voice. Notwithstanding the title track is a 10/10 sing along classic

Enjoyed this. Punk with a lot of avant-garde, very raw but fabulous musicianship. Cool vibes surfer escque definitely see the Cali influence. Bit too long for a punk record in my view.
