You can hear how he had his hand in so many other bands’ work in this album. It’s just those sounds but…more.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

This is much more musical than most punk albums. Awesome album!

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

2/5

Musically it’s not my thing. Lyrically some of the songs are beautiful. Overall it feels too plain in some areas and way too much in others. 14th Street and Beautiful Child were the highlights for me. I give those a 4.

Sincere

Mj Cole

1/5

Reminded me of Craig David but not nearly as good

Smash

The Offspring

5/5

Ahh the return of the hidden tracks! This sounded like my childhood and reminds me of car rides with my dad. Cannot believe it’s been 30 years since it was released.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

No misses on this album. Loved 15 Step, Jigsaw Falling Into Place, and Videotape

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

3/5

Liked the songs but nothing stood out to me. Also…twice as many bonus tracks as “real” ones feels a bit much.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

Easy listen. Would have been bigger if it was released earlier. The Wikipedia entry mentions Illmatic, Enter the Wu Tang, and Ready to Die which definitely dominated 93-94, but I think this more occupies the same place as Midnight Marauders which is the better album imo.

Van Halen

5/5

Yeah, this was a fun one. Always loved Eddie Van Halen’s guitar style and David Lee Roth’s vocals.

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

Perfect for driving with the top down, super early in the morning, after a long night out. This Must Be the Place I Waited to Leave and How Can You Expect to be Taken Seriously were highlights

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

Do I detect a hint of surf rock? Dramatic, orchestral….slightly mod and hippiesh at times. This album crammed so many sub genre sounds into its songs.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

4/5

Yup…that’s metal.

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

All bops no filler

Iron Maiden

4/5

More metal….not my favorite genre but it was good.

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

If this is on here and no My Bloody Valentine albums are, I’ll be very disappointed. This was good but not great.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Love this album, another one that reminds me of car rides with my dad. Immigrant Song is a strong opener. Leaving room in the rating in case there are other Zeppelin albums on the list. Rating is a 3/5 among other Led Zeppelin albums. A solid 5 against other albums that we have already heard.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

1 extra star for nostalgia. Makes me think of HS and college. The Stars of Track and Field, Get Me Away From Here I’m Dying, and If You’re Feeling Sinister were highlights.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Great voice and range but skipped a lot of them. The songs I liked the most were covered better by others imo. eg The Shirelles cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow is much stronger and neither hold a candle to Carol King’s

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Not usually a fan of live albums but this was enjoyable

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

Sound Affects

The Jam

4/5

This was a fun listen. Pretty Green was a great opener

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

It’s Bowie so I’ll like it, but compared to other Bowie albums it’s not as good.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Blue and The Last Time I Saw Richard get me every time

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

3/5

Liked some but was meh on others

Elvis Presley

This was rough

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Groovy. I had no idea who this was until Get it On. Really enjoyed the rest of his stuff

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

4/5

A little meandering at times but enjoyable

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Not something I would normally pick up, but it’s a good example of style and a pretty good listen.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

Now that’s a strong opening…

Born To Be With You

Dion

5/5

Awesome sentimental bops

Like A Prayer

Madonna

5/5

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

2/5

Listened while waiting for a flight in DC. Too tired and sober for this I think.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Gimme Shelter is a solid song but the rest range from ok to meh.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

3/5

Mid

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

3/5

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

5/5

4.5 stars Embarrassingly, I think I have only heard other people cover Cohen's songs so I was not prepared for the gravel in his voice. After a few songs it got to be a bit much for me but the lyrics and instrumentation were so beautiful.

Another Music In A Different Kitchen

Buzzcocks

4/5

It's the Buzzcocks, you cannot go wrong!

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

5/5

What an odd album. This was an amazing journey. I hit play without looking at the track list and kept getting lovely surprises along the way. Forget the originals (which are fantastic) but a cover of Born to Run? San Jose? I love The Boss and Burt Bacharach!

Connected

Stereo MC's

2/5

Not my thing. Strong opener (there's probably a reason it was populare and the rest are not) but then it just got repetitive.

Low

David Bowie

5/5

Traffic

3/5

An easy listen but nothing unique or ground breaking sticks out to me.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

2/5

Pretty for a single song but gets repetitive

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

5/5

<3 Pavement

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

This album definitely shows The Beatles transitional phase. The first two songs alone show their early more pop sound and the sound that would define their later work. Good mix, rating it against other Beatles albums.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Perfect and Forgiven still gut me all these later.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

4/5

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

Was it intersting? Yes. Will I listen to it again? No.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

4/5

A Walk Across The Rooftops

The Blue Nile

4/5

It's like a folksy David Bowie!

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Nostalgia!

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

L.A. Woman

The Doors

2/5

There’s the good Doors songs that become hits and then there’s the rambling blues stuff. This had too much of the latter

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

3/5

Nifty but not my thing

Play

Moby

4/5

Ah yes, the album of commercial and movie songs!

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

No skips

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

1/5

Absolutely not. Was every singer in this genre so whiny?

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

4/5

Haven’t listened to this in years. Lyrically and musically still makes me feel nostalgic and like I’m in a 90s teen movie

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

4/5

Loved this. Even more impressive when you think about it being done in the 70s

The Band

4/5

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

1/5

Everything I hate about live albums

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Heart of Gold, Old Man, Alabama, and Words are fantastic. The rest I feel very meh about overall.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Ok background music at first but it got weird.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

Her voice and work is so timeless.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

5/5

This album was so beautiful. Glad to see more of them on this list!

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

Another Green World

Brian Eno

4/5

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

3/5

Higher score if this was two separate albums. I remember loving this album as a kid but on relisten it feels super disjointed. Interlude: Let's Dance to Someday Is Tonight feels like one album. The rest feel like another.

Adele

5/5

Forgot how much I loved the songs on here that weren’t singles

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

4/5

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

1/5

I hate Christmas albums

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

5/5

Bad

4/5

Minus a star for Speed Demon through Another Part of Me. Those are terrible to meh at best. The rest are generally amazing.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Ain't No Other Man aside, I drastically preferred Disc 2, it feels much more "back to basics" than the first disc. Disc 1: 2 Disc 5: 4

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

Lost Souls

Doves

4/5

Eliminator

ZZ Top

5/5

No skips.

1999

Prince

5/5

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Second Live album on here that I actually enjoyed.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

5/5

I had no idea how much I enjoyed Rod Stewart.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Whoo this album still holds up from the first time I heard it. Highlights for me are still Black Man and Sir Duke but on this side of parenthood the once saccharine Isn’t She Lovely now makes me bawl my eyes out.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Listened to both UK and US versions, averages out to a 4. Odd differences between the ablums. Only ~1/2 of each album has songs in common and I think both could use Paint it Black and Mother's Little Helper.

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

1/5

I feel like I'm never cool enough to "get" bands like this. Not my thing.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

4/5

Makes me feel kind of eurotrashy...I like it

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

5/5

Sounds like college

Joan Armatrading

5/5

This was beautiful and funky!

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

All those microphones made for a really great live recording. Love her voice but the music got repetitive for me.

Fred Neil

3/5

Ok background music. Not great but not terrible.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Minus one start for not being Midnight Marauders, that's its only fault.

Paul Simon

5/5

What a weird and awesome mishmash of sounds! I had only heard Me and Julie Down by the Schoolyard from this album previously but I dig all of this!

Sunshine Hit Me

The Bees

4/5

First real discovery thanks to this list.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

Sounds like a spring day laying in a meadow...

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

Minus one star because Talkie Walkie is the superior Air album

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

1/5

Not my thing

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

Ugh. Fuck Morrissey but also Irish Blood, English Heart is so good. So you get an extra star.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

1/5

We don't fuck with paedos/assaulters, no matter how ground breaking.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

5/5

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

2/5

Sounds like cocaine?

Achtung Baby

4/5

Ugh, put my Achtung Baby rating with War. So this rating is for War...

War

3/5

One is always a highlight for this album but the rest is average.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Young Americans and Fame are highlights for me, but the rest is kind of meh to average.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

3/5

This made me laugh? So I think I was listening correctly. This is absurd.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

Good example of style, a little too calm for my country tastes but pleasant.

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

Pretty but nothing knocked me over

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

Still amazing after all these years.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

1/5

Noping the fuck out of this one. It's like Firestarter on streoids for a whole album

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

4/5

I do love me a concept album!

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

4/5

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

2/5

Live albums are generally meh and I cannot stand Bob Dylan's voice. Love his lyrics so this pains me.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

5/5

Berlin

Lou Reed

2/5

This is so close to being a decent album but it's lacking something that I cannot put my finger on.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Never had listened to this whole album before. Loved it.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Doesn't get much better than this. Going to California is probably the biggest highlight in this album followed by how Black Dog and Rock and Roll flow into each other and then Stairway to Heaven.

The Clash

4/5

Preferred London Calling but still very good

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

3/5

Highly Evolved

The Vines

4/5

This album is a chameleon and honestly....it's good? I enjoyed it? But I think it's trying to be all the things and listens more like a love letter to the 90s more than anything else. The soaring guitars in some of the songs sound so British and reminiscent of Wonderwall. Homesick sounds like it could be in Smashing Pumpkin's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Mary Jane sounds like it could be on any random 90s alt rock album. Factory is super bubbly and bouncy and feels like their ode to the ska movement that become popular during that time. And all the screaming parts sound like a Nirvana sound attempt. I don't hate this but it also does not feel original enough to be on the 1001 list.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

5/5

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

4/5

Germs

4/5

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

4/5

I can definitely hear Briggs's influence on this album. It sounds very similar to a lot of my other favorite albums from this time. ...also Led Zeppelin

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

This got a little dull and repetitive for me.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Not my thing, don't hate it but don't love it. Appreciate the talent and skill though.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Golden Skans and It's Not Over Yet stuck out as particularly good. Looking at Spotify stats, they are the most listened to so that makes sense. Rest were meh to annoyingly repetitive.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

2/5

Pretty but not my style

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Do I...like Coldplay? I never knew.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

1/5

Just no

Adele

5/5

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

3/5

I wish there was a way to attribute authors on here but this is from a reviewer post on December 20, 2021 and it sums up my thoughts very well. I didn't hate it, but was hoping for more. "I was excited after reading their extremely pretentious description on Spotify but the result is underwhelming. I was really hoping for some genre bending/blending, instead it's just a dylan/orbison/petty not-quite coverband that delves into sound scapes ala Wilco meets Brian Eno."

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

3/5

It's ok, but prefer To Bring You My Love

Debut

Björk

4/5

This is the Bjork I like!

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

4/5

This was DENSE, used Genius to learn about the double meanings. Lots of this still relevant imo.

Live Through This

Hole

4/5

Sounds like middle school angst. Love it

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

Thanks, I hate it.

The Undertones

4/5

This was fun but did not amaze me.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Some of this was a lot mellower than I thought it'd be. Still not completely my thing but I liked it more than I thought I would.

Soul Mining

The The

4/5

This is the Day makes me feel so nostalgic. I need to now go watch Empire Records again. The rest of it was pretty fun too but this song is amazing.

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

1/5

I can say at no point did I know what would happen next. So it was exciting in that sense. Did I like it? No.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Frankly Mr Shankly was a bit of a surprise. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but in the _I want to be moping around while driving my car and smoking a cigarette_ kind of way despite having stopped over a decade ago.

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

3/5

evermore

Taylor Swift

4/5

champagne problems is so beautiful. Love the rest of this album as well.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

I still remember hearing this album for the first time in middle school. Life changing.

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

1/5

Not for me

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

3/5

This sounds unlike any country I hear today. Good guitar work but this vocal styling drives me crazy.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

3/5

Good background music - enjoyable to listen to but nothing blew me away lyrically so I didn't have to listen too hard.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

The rest of it is great but Two Out of Three Ain't Bad is still my favorite.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

1/5

Hard to find and did not enjoy it

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

5/5

Perfect for today's grey sky and tempermental weather. Perfect weather for tea drinking and navel gazing.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Irganda was a highlight for me. Good stuff

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

2/5

A little folksier than their very first album which I prefer quite a bit. Nothing beats the sensuality of Ooh La La or the beat of Ride a White Horse.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

1/5

Not my thing

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

3/5

You Haven't Done Nothin' was a high point but overall too mellow for me.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

All the hits, rap at its best.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Minus one star because Love and Happiness is a better album imo

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Legendary. Still amazing all these years later.

The Libertines

3/5

Really enjoyable to listen to but nothing stood out lyrically or musically as superb.

Live!

Fela Kuti

3/5

Not for me, but obviously very good

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Some high points, but not my favorite Beatles album

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

2/5

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

2/5

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

1/5

No thank you

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Funky and smooth

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

2/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

So good. No skips

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

1/5

I...have no idea what this is. But it makes me anxious.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

I like the more mellow songs

Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Stereolab

3/5

Some of this was too odd for me. Other parts felt like a peppier Belle and Sebastian. Did not completely dislike this.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

Not my favorite The Who album but still pretty good.

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Scissor Sisters

5/5

And just like that, I'm back in college. I love everything on this album

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Perfect album

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

First KDot album I listened to and it still blows me away. Dense, layered, smart lyrics; phenomenal talent; and great production. Up there with Illmatic and Me Against the World. Was not surprised when his next album won a Pulitzer.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

3/5

I don't feel bad not listening to all this because its suppsoed to be her singing their works but it has not a SINGLE song from Porgy and Bess. Ella Fitzgerald singing Summertime is transcendental. Gives me goosebumps every time. Not including any songs from there is a crime.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

The Blueprint

JAY Z

2/5

I've never been able to get into J besides a handful of albums and then the Grey Album.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

It's fun, don't have to think too much while listening. Sometimes that's all I need.

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

3/5

Wish the rest of the album was as good as Closer and Use Somebody

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Genesis

2/5

I adore Genesis, how can a single album have none of the songs I like by Genesis? Familiar with some like Carpet Crawlers and The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging but none of them "do it" for me.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

4/5

A bit aggressive for 8AM whislt getting started for work but it was good. I can only do Slayer in small doses though. 34 minutes and 46 seconds was just about perfect.

Guero

Beck

3/5

Suede

3/5

I think I had them confused with a badn from the 70s...did not hate this though.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

Lovesong alone makes this the perfect album, but all around fantastic.

Illmatic

Nas
