Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Not usually my style of music, but I greatly appreciated the arrangements and song writing with such a fun concept for an album. Will revisit.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Enjoyed every second. Don't have a deep knowledge of rap so hearing an albums considered one of the best in the genre was a pleasure.

Guero

Beck

4/5

One of my favorite albums from my childhood. Happy to listen to it again.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

4/5

I've been a huge fan of 60s and 70s music most of my life but have a few albums I've embarrassingly missed out on. This was one of them. Really enjoyed it.

The Next Day

David Bowie

4/5

Was skeptical when I got this album despite loving what I've heard of Bowie just because as rockstars get older sometimes they lose that creative spark. This isn't the case with Bowie. Album was filled with fun and experimental sounds. Enjoyed it a great deal with the exception of a few songs.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

I consider myself a CCR fan, but I don't feel like time was kind to this album, which I don't fault the band for. There's classics here but the bluesy songs feel ruined by bad dive bar bands over time. "Ooby Dooby" is just plain annoying. And "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" doesn't earn it's 11 minute runtime.

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

5/5

Amazing album.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Great classic rock. Lots of energetic songs. Still don't care for "Smoke on the Water".

2112

Rush

3/5

Great classic prog album. Ayn Rand sucks.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

5/5

Perfect prog pop album

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

There's a reason why this is considered one of the greatest albums ever.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

Was not familiar with Michael before this. Enjoyed this quite a bit. A lot of Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers type sounds with Michael's own voice to it. Lots of good ambient sounds too.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Love every second. Great classic punk album.

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

3/5

I understand how it could be revolutionary at the time, but this album has definitely shown its age. As a fan of garage rock, it's fun hearing these early years.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

1/5

I can get why someone would like this album, but not me. Songs could use to either be cut in half or removed completed. It's an incredibly long, boring, and self-indulgent album about betraying your best friend. There's some great sounds and musician work here, though.

Dust

Screaming Trees

4/5

Fun mix of psychedelic and early alternative/grunge.

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

Not my thing at all.

Roots

Sepultura

4/5

Not a metal guy, but I was keep getting more and more into it as it kept going. Really gave me a new appreciation for the genre.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

I'm a Wu-Tang guy now.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Liked a few songs and a lot of the solos, but I just can't get into Hetfield's vocal style.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Not much to say other than it's a new favorite instrumental album

Dire Straits

4/5

Fantastic guitar work

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Wasn't my favorite but respect what it did for the genre

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Really loved all the jazz samples and beats, but some lyrics have aged poorly.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

A little too melodramatic for me, but some great instrumentation.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

It's Stevie

Out of Step

Minor Threat

3/5

I get it's the point but it gets to the point where the melody gets lost in the noise. I do appreciate it for what it did.

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

Not really my thing but can appreciate it

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

5/5

It's Willie

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Only knew them from "Come On, Eileen" but this was a very pleasant surprise. Definitely an underrated album for New Wave music.

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Was not familiar with this band. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Big fan or Brian Wilson and King Gizzard, and this album made me think of both.

Parklife

Blur

3/5

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Great classic pop rock that you can still hear the influence of on a lot of modern indie rock

Kenya

Machito

5/5

Enjoyed this one from start to finish.

Time Out Of Mind

Bob Dylan

4/5

Cool to think this was a comeback album and has now stood the test of time to become a classic part of Dylan's discography.
