The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

5/5

How could this get anything but a 5! Such a hugely influential album to all that came after and you can hear it in the songs! Especially Heroin

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

Not big on jazz but I'm grateful for this project making me listen to this album. It's a stunning project with every instrument being just perfect

Elvis Presley

2/5

Worthwhile to listen through once because I'd never hear a song of his that he's not singing in his signature voice. But that's about it, if I'm listening to 50s rock I want to listen to someone else.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

Pretty solid, to me Coldplay has like one sound but it's a sound they do well so! Can't complain

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Lots of the songs ran longer than they should but solid otherwise

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Peak

Moby Grape

3/5

Live / Dead

Grateful Dead

1/5

Yeah I'm bailing on this. It has some moments of genius I'm sure, but I'm not patient enough to stick around and find them

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Pretty solid! Pretty funky!

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Now this is an album that absolutely deserves a place on any listen before you die lists.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

5/5

Stunning and creative, a songwriter at the peak of her powers, and oh so strange!

Odessa

Bee Gees

1/5

Why is this album in this list?? It sounds so half finished... Even the bee gees are probably better than this elsewhere

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

5/5

So so good

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

2/5

I like some of the stones' songs but these ones don't do it for me. The horns are a nice touch tho

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

As someone who is very interested in the development of electronic music I'm so glad to have heard this meld of synth and jazz!

Ray Of Light

Madonna

5/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

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

Devo

4/5

I love it when bands get weird

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

I mean c'mon. Side b is one of the best tracks ever

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

Punk seems to either click for me or not. At first this was the latter but then it really started to work. It's just the kind of music you have to be in the mood for. I recommend for vacuuming

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

Trio

Dolly Parton

3/5

I like country sometimes and I respect the artistry of all these women, but I found this album kinda boring

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

Good stuff

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

4/5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Crosby, Stills & Nash

5/5

This album is so of its time and yet so timeless. A bit of a miracle of songwriting

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

2/5

Cute, but I fail to see why it's considered essential. I'd rock to these guys live tho

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

5/5

This shit fucks

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Some bangers some meh. I don't need a whole album of these guys. If you like them you should check out a band called Black Pontiac

Closer

Joy Division

4/5

Not my favourite post-punk, but notable for its influence

Feast of Wire

Calexico

4/5

This was quite surprising. This kind of album and band, which I'd never heard of before, is why I appreciate this challenge

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Started as a three then moved to a 4... Albums like this help me understand how rocky horror could have been made in the 70s. I think part of why I liked it so much was that all the 2000s bands I really enjoy are derivatives of this sound
