Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Rage Against The Machine

3/5

Garbage

2/5

I never really got into Garbage. Idk if they just didn't hit my radar or what but this album won't change that. It was just very meh. I'm not sure what to rate it because it's just so unremarkable.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Funky, soulful. Puts me in a good mood Everytime.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

4/5

The Band

5/5

This is clearly a 5. Anyone who says different has no taste.

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

Sonic Youth is always a good time.

Blur

3/5

This sounds just like the other Blue album we listened to. Ok, nothing special. Bit boring.

A Wizard, A True Star

Todd Rundgren

3/5

This album is pretty out there. I like Todd Rundgren but this is certainly not my favorite album of his.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

2/5

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

I don't really understand jazz. It's enjoyable for a bit but then it sort of all blends together.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

4/5

I need to be in a mood to listen to this but it's certainly fun

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

4/5

I do have a love for the psychedelic 60s. My parents had some albums that I dove into at about 10 or 11. That did it. It was captivating. Took me to another world that wasn't the shitty one I was living in. This album takes me back to those days. Sitting in the garage spinning albums from artists I was only discovering.

Iron Maiden

2/5

Oh I have been dreading this album. I have never enjoyed Iron Maiden. TBF I never really listened to it but it was always in the periphery. My cousins, brother, step brother, guy friends at school. Just not my thing

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

2/5

Ok, I can't handle this kind of crap. I don't really enjoy hip hop or rap. The skits are just annoying. I can see why it might be influential but it's not for me. I do remember a few songs from the time it came out so there was a bit of nostalgia but not enough to make it a 3.

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

4/5

I love this album. At times it gets a bit too hipster but I don't mind. It's a great mellow listen.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

4/5

Surprising and beautiful

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

No, I don't get it. Again just absolutely annoying. A couple good songs but listening to this as whole makes me want to jam pencils in my ears. And it's about an hour and a half too long

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

3/5

Super weird but enjoyable listen.

Sulk

The Associates

2/5

Went into this with high hopes. I love the 80s and try to devour everything I find that I may have missed the first time around but baby this ain't it . I can see where it wants to go but they didn't make it.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

3/5

I completely lost track of this while I was listening to it. Generally unremarkable but enjoyable.

Ramones

4/5

This is always such a fun listen

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

1/5

I am just not a fan. I get it's a classic but it sucks

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

World changing album. Absolute banger. Everything about this album is a 5.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Again, I just don't get it. It's fine. Nice to play in the background.

The Bends

Radiohead

2/5

Idk man ..... I just don't get it. It's boring and the vocals are annoying. I have tried over the years to see what it is I'm missing with this band and I still don't understand.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

When this came out I loved it. It's Madonna, there are some solid songs but I'm just not a fan.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

I only ever listened to 1999, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, the Batman soundtrack. While those are outstanding, this was just meh. Three just because it's Prince.

Roots

Sepultura

1/5

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

2/5

LL is good to look at and during the time this came out I wouldn't turn the radio if he came in but this is just bad. TBf there are very few rap albums I can stomach. But this just isn't very good. Extra star because I had a crush when I was a teen.

The Coral

3/5

I really wanted to like this and I do but I wouldn't listen to it again. I might check out more of their albums though

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Sooo, it's ok. A little mediocre. I was more into Pearl Jam and Nirvana at the time. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't spin it again

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

5/5

5 stars! One of my favorite albums. Absolutely stellar

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

I'm barely a song in and I want to stop. Why is this shite highly rated? It's AWFUL. Maybe I'm old but just no, I never needed to hear this before I die. And the screaming? Why?

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

I listened to this my first go round. It's interesting but not something I'd listen to again.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

3/5

I'm not sure why this album is on the list. This is just some teen pop. I get why it's a solid part of pop culture but it's not for me.3 stars for Britney

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

Too much random unnecessary noises. Making songs longer than need be. I like a few songs but I wouldn't choose to listen to this. If a song came in the radio I wouldn't turn it. I'd put a song or two on a playlist but as a whole, no thank you.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Finally something that doesn't suck. This list seems to be full of shit I NEVER needed to hear. It's disappointing to say the least.

System Of A Down

1/5

Nu metal is lame and this didn't change my mind. Just awful

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

I love this album. I've listened to it so many times over the years.

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

When this came out I would have rated it a 5. I listened to it incessantly. I was obsessed but now as an old lady I don't get that same feeling and have a hard time getting through this album. Young me would hate old me lol

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Had this album on repeat along with The Doors - ST and LA Woman in my early 20s. Good times, good times. Absolute banger

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Childish bs, I just can't with this kinda shit. Smh, gets a 2 because there's at least one decent song that doesn't want to make me stab myself in the ears

Elvis Presley

5/5

I love Elvis so I can't imagine this will be less than 5 Banger, front to back. Come on...

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

I love Christmas music. Any time of year. This is a great one.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

1/5

Can I give this shit a 0?

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

2/5

I can appreciate it it for what it is. It's certainly more interesting than some others in here but again I'm not a a fan

Boston

5/5

This is the first album I bought myself. Paid a quarter for it at a garage sale when I was about 10 or 11. Had no idea what it was, just thought it looked cool. This album is perfect, no skips. 10!

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

Mariah has pipes but an entire album is just a no go. The album is boring but I'm giving a 3 because she can sing

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

1/5

What in the absolute fuck is this. It's some shit is what it is. Why is this on ANY list

Purple Rain

Prince

5/5

Lived in my stereo for months. Perfect.
