King Crimson
This is already a 5 star album for me, but it was fun to do an experiment, as I listened to the streaming album, which I am sure 99% of the people on this site do, and then I listened to my personal Steven Wilson Mix of the album on vinyl, and it is truly night and day. So it makes me wonder how much are some of these albums missed, by listening on your phone or in your car with other distractions. I listened with headphones, no distractions (only to get up and flip the record over) and it was really the way albums were meant to be listened to.

Gorillaz
My ratings for popular music after 2000 tend to be pretty low. Even though Gorillaz is not a group that is in heavy rotation for me, I appreciate what they are doing in the modern age, the concepts are fun, and I like to check in every now and then to see what they are coming up with next. Crazy this project is 25 years old, but does not sound dated.

This album makes me feel like I am watching any 80s movie that has a scene at some beach resort, and this is the live band playing in the background.

Beatles
Rubber Soul immediately sparks a memory for me. As a very young kid, my mother would play her organ while us kids would sing songs, like Nowhere Man and Michelle, with her. This epiphany made me realize that I was singing Beatles songs before I ever really heard them. Rubber Soul to me is the beginning of when the Beatles become their best, the touring stops and they start making not just real albums, but really good albums.

Eminem
Bands have been coming up with gimmicks to sell records for a long long time. Eminem is no different. He's got a gimmicks to try and shock everyone with his lyrics and it's working, for most people, but not me. I did enjoy the dissing at the Insane Clown Posse, but really Marshall, ICP are one of the biggest gimmicks in the last 25 years. You are pretty much doing the same thing. And to be honest. I have laughed at more ICP jokes than M&M ones!
