Master Of Puppets
Metallica
This is an album that I've heard many times before taking on this challenge, and it's for good reason. It's one of the best metal albums that has been made, at least in my opinion. Songs like "Battery" and "Master of Puppets" are still essential metal songs to this day, and just in general, I think this is a great gateway album for people trying to get into metal. Overall, amazing album.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Eurythmics
This is unfortunately one of those albums where one song (in this case the title track) kind of overshadows the rest of the album. That being said, I still enjoyed it overall.

I know it's extremely cliche to call this one of the greatest albums of all time, but if I'm being honest, it really is that amazing in my opinion. Every song on here is just incredible, but my favorite one has to be "Let Down," which is just a powerful song. This is without question one of the albums that everyone should hear at least once in their lifetime.

At Fillmore East
The Allman Brothers Band
Honestly, I'm not 100% sure if this whole jam band scene is really my thing. I do love what I'm hearing, but most of it just kind of goes in one ear and out the other. Nothing really sticks with me all that much. But like I said, I did still really enjoy this, and maybe one day, I'll really get into it.
Oh yeah, I also heard the 2003 version of this album, because it made the most sense to me.

Definitely Maybe
Oasis
This is totally just a me thing, but this is the best britpop album that I've heard, if you want to even call it britpop, because it honestly is just some killer-ass rock songs.

As a step away from the Britpop sound that Blur were known for, they do a very great job at making music that sounds more like the stuff that you'd hear in America, even if they were doing it in a joking manner.

How have I not heard of this band until now? This is totally up my alley. Whatever, glad I did check this out though, even if some pockets of it were a bit odd.

Enjoyable album, even if "Dancing Queen" kind of overshadows most of the rest of the songs.

Jazz Samba
Stan Getz
I guess it's worth bringing up that I'm not really all that much of a jazz person. Like, I have enjoyed what I've heard, but it's not the type of music that I actively seek out if that makes any sense. I will say that for what it is, I did enjoy Jazz Samba. It was pretty pleasant, and I definitely wouldn't mind putting it back on at some point in the future.

This was overall good. Nothing super amazing or anything like that, but I am wondering as to why critics back then were so harsh towards them.

Ehhhhhhhh, not really a fan of this one. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it teeters the line between ok and just plain boring. Idk, consider me filtered I guess lol

At some point this album all but completely lost me, and what I was hearing just started to blend into one another. Not really a fan of this one either unfortunately.

Holy crap! This album's amazing! Very peaceful jazz music that just seeps into my skull whenever I listen to it. Absolutely worth checking out, even if you don't think you're much of a jazz person
