Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Some really good moments. Love the title track. Rock flute is unique, but also a bit meh.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Nearly perfect album. I don't know that they've ever topped this debut. Fav song has got to be "Black."

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Greatest band of all time. Unbelievable debut album.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

I absolutely hate the album artwork and the title track. Gross sentimentality. But . . . the rest of the album is not bad. Standouts for me are: Traveling Man, Early Morning Breeze, and Here I Am. All three of these songs sound more like Dylan’s Nashville Skyline, and less like Gatlinburg. Also, Dolly has a bit too much vibrato in her voice for my tastes.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Great album. Quintessential 90s. I would rank Californication about this album as my favorite RHCP album, but it's close. Also Under the Bridge is untouchable.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

I was expecting jazz. The funk caught me off guard. But this album is a jam. Love it.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

This is not typically my sort of thing. But this is definitely a vibe. And no one can deny Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). But honestly, the whole album is good, moody, unique. I'm between 4 and 5. Probably going to land on 4 because I'm not sure it's something I could go back to all the time.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

4/5

Cool vibe. Listened through a couple times. Standouts for me: Bonny, Appetite, When Love Breaks Down.

Imagine

John Lennon

4/5

At times, brilliant, but still not Beatles worthy. Interesting to listen to how Lennon every. The sound is sort of schizophrenic and can’t seem to maintain a direction.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

I think I'm going 5 on this one. Probably actually more like 4.5 for me. But I'm a sucker for late 60's hippie music. Joplin is the embodiment of that age. Such a vibe.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Solid album. Big hits.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

I’ve never really been a Prince guy. But I think I get it.

Wild Gift

4/5

Ok. Really dig this the more I listen. LA Punk!

Whatever

Aimee Mann

2/5

I don’t hate this music, but I also don’t see anything special about it. I struggle to understand why it’s in this list.

Woodface

Crowded House

3/5

I thought this was going to be a 4, but I'm opting for a 3. The second half of the album is a bit to boring for me. That being said, I do like the band and the sound, just probably not for a whole album's worth of material.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

Just really not my style. But they're talented for sure.

Odelay

Beck

5/5

Love this album.

Ananda Shankar

4/5

Dig it. Sitar music. The last song is directly religious and I disagree with what is said. But otherwise really enjoyable.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

I really want to love ELP because my dad loved them, and there are parts that I enjoy, but overall it's just not really my jam.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

1/5

Finding it hard to finish this one. I simply hate it.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

Undeniably great album. At times it's too emotional for me—especially High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees. At that same time, that emotionalism is sometimes exactly what I need. But the whole album is great and fairly diverse. The best Radiohead is still In Rainbows, but The Bends is considered great for a reason.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Enjoyed it.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

4/5

I am familiar with The Who , but I’ve never listened to this album. It’s got hints of 1967 summer of love, and I love that, but it’s also very goofy. It’s sort of reminds me of what would happen if the Beastie Boys tried to be the Beatles.

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

2/5

It’s talent, but I’m just not into the Prog Rock sound.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

This album is certainly a vibe, and I like lots of parts about it. At the same time, it's overall just a little too goofy for me, and loses some steam on Side B. It's about a 3.5, but earns a 3 here.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Perhaps my favorite album of all time.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

5/5

I love Neil. This is one of his best.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Love Hendrix. This album has some absolute bangers, but also some experimental tracks. I’m rating 4, but it’s probably more like 4.5.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

4/5

Love Mariah, but I typically listen to the singles, so this may have been one of first times I’ve listened straight through an album, and I was surprised that I liked so many of the slower songs on this one. The only song that felt weird and like it didn’t fit was the Dru Hill collab.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Nearly a 4 for me. Love the Police, but parts of the album are a smidge slow. It’s probably 3.75.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

A few songs I don't love, but it's hard not to give this one a 5.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Great album.

Black Sabbath

5/5

The first several Sabbath albums are untouchable.
