Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

Call me generic, say I dont love music, call me tacky, but thisbis Crack. I love this shit. It was popular and still is popular because its good. One of my favorites from this challenge so far after 50. What can I say. Neo jazz and jazz in general is just really good.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

Extremely atmospheric, in a nice way. Just something nice to vibe to. Pyramid song is an absolutely beautiful piece. Nice lyrics. Definitely for people who are sad. So I understand why people love this band You in what army is strong. Some of these songs are kinda bad like spinning plates. Bear hubting just an instrumental, though it is a good one. Overall a pretty good album with high highs and low lows (Pulk is pretty god awful though)

Metallica

5/5

Great metal album. Basic but tah5s because it's the metal album

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Pretty good psychedelic album, wish I could give it a 7, but it was a really good chill relaxing time. Made my car ride a lot better today

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

A fantastic album that really had a huge impact when it came out in 1968, can't really go wrong with the stones.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

All hail the king of the blues. So much soul and pride put into his performances he really was about the musicians life. Great crowd as well.

The White Album

Beatles

3/5

I'm not the biggest fan of the Beatles, but it's good. They never can really make anything bad.

Adele

2/5

I dont like the music, but her voice is nice

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

4/5

Good ambient album. Really enjoyed it. Nice and chill

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

1/5

The instrumentation is wonderful. But the guys singing and voice just make it literally unlistenable

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

3/5

Not bad, but nothing that really makes you go crazy for the album

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Very good album, i love it personally, though some songs are a little too mellow

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

1/5

Just not my music

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

I like david Bowie, but why did they pick this album. Like it's okay, but jts not his stand out hit. It was strong, but couple of the 6 songs were background noise. Good though

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

Good metal album. Some song choices, like the entire last song are questionable. But ultimately, an extremely fun time.

Music

Madonna

2/5

Honestly, first few songs are kinda aged like dogshit on a hot summers day, but the latter half of album honestly isn't bad at all. Like nothing outstanding, but pretty good music

Parallel Lines

Blondie

2/5

It's an okay rock album. Nothing stood out to me accept the hits which were really good. Just boring.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

4/5

Chillin thats what we doing.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

2/5

It started off fun, but as it dragged on, and boy did it drag on, it just got repetitive and boring. Like sure its fun, but does this of all things really deserve to be on a list for music you really have to listen to? Like the whole thing just sounds so similar that it feels like at least 7 of the songs are just the same song. Also why are there 6 Elvis Costello albums on here. He's such an okay artist, he deserves a singular album. Not 6.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

It’s a pretty alright album, but the funny thing to me is even though the album itself is unmemorable. The album cover is probably what you think of when you think of David Bowie. Just goes to show the impact a cover can really have.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

1/5

Album doesn't exist in full anywhere i could find. Thus I can't listen to it

Suicide

1/5

1 decent starting song cant save the rest of this album from being dogshit. Somehow 25 minutes of music made me wanna kms. 🥀

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

My group mates are smoking. This album is an absolute vibe. Rocks super hard with the instrumentation being fantastic.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

This funk got me funked up in a really good funking way that makes me just want to funk up at the funk party. Absolutely funky.

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

2/5

As someone whose parents have made him listen to a lot of this kind of music. This is on the lower end of the spectrum.

New Forms

Roni Size

2/5

It’s really only essential if you like a really specific kind of music. Like literally just very okay. Songs are way too long and drag on. Album is the size of a large feature length film. It’s aight

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Honestly. It wasn't bad. I'd say it was good even. It's definitely showing it's age, but its got a lot of charm to it. Some songs do sound like they come from a shifty bootleg of mega man called kilo Tucker or something, but ultimately not bad.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

4/5

Pretty good solid album. Don't have much to say honestly except for that.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

This is the man who helped invented rock and roll. Thus, its pretty good.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Really wish I could do a 3.5. It's not bad, but queen was never a great album band. They could make great singles, but their not really one definitive queen album. Though this one is pretty good.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

3/5

Honestly really good. Not too memorable, but a solid album.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

4/5

If I could tell you why I like this album better than say, white album, I couldn't tell you. Something about it was just really fun. Like the lyrics are terrible and the music is just alright, but I could feel that the band really was just having fun with it. Which made me have more fun with it. It's like watching a terrible movie with freinds, It's so nonsensical and trashy that you kinda love it.

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

Solid debut album, not much else to say honestly. Though psycho killer makes me wanna watch American psycho and snort cocaine

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

4/5

Very enjoyable folk album. Loved the singers voice and the music. Sounds like this band Donna the buffalo

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

3/5

It's a very okay hip hop record. If it came out like 5 years earlier I could see it having been a very influential album. It just came out right before that big shift in hip hop so when it came out it was just another album.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

Medúlla

Björk

4/5

I finally found an album tag actually let me use my ap music theory knowledge. Its experimental and wierd but really its just a choir album sounds all round pretty good.

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

4/5

Great pop album. Her voice can get a little much at times, but other than that this is a fantastic listen.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

3/5

Is frank sinatra a fantastic singer, absolutely. Is this album about the same topic the whole way through yeah.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

3/5

Honestly not a bad album. Has some really strong songs, but also some really meh ones. Also yoko ono is an untalented idiot and I know she's not even on the album, but I just really dont like her. But really good.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

The artist is fantastic at giving us one thing, but not much else to be honest. What's there is great though.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

Honestly a really strong album with some great songwriting. I can see why the smiths think this is their best album. Definitely gotta do some separation of art and artist cause Morrissey is a prick.

Diamond Life

Sade

5/5

Reign In Blood

Slayer

3/5

I think its a fantastic metal album, it just all sounds very similar though. Like every song i could jam out to one at a time, but all in a row it sounds just like one really big track. Also the singer can be really hard to understand sometimes. But overall a very rocking album.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

I have never listened to Neil Young before this. I really wonder why I haven't because this was some damn good music. It knows perfectly when to rock and when to be somber. So many emotions were put into this album. Its one of those albums that you ca just feel the beauty of. Lovely time will listen again.

Ramones

4/5

All the songs sound the same. Usually this purely a bad thing, but since this is the album that basically began punk music, its much easier to excuse as compared to other albums. Punk all kinda sounds similar anyways, all built on similar ideas and sounds. Its perfectly smart and mindless enough that it really did revolutionize music at the time.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

2/5

Im only on song 5, and I can tell that this is one of those important because of the times albums, but nowadays its just boring. I respect it and Its not horrible. But there are a lot of other albums from this time era that sound very similar to this, and this one doesn't do much better than any of them.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

This is honestly one of my favorite albums. Every song just has so much power. I mean its not perfect, but its what I vibe with, which is really all that matters I think.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

The British always had the US beat in music

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

Think this is trying to teach me that Neil Young is one of the greatest artists of all time, and I definitely get it.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

It was a big bite to chew through, but I can't complain when the steak is juicy and the lobster is buttery.
