The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
David Bowie
Star man is an iconic song but otherwise the album felt a little boring to me. It might be because David Bowie has a signature style that is amazing when you see it live but loses some of its charm when you simply listen to the music without his stage presence. HOWEVER, the bass was lovely throughout which is always a plus. It is an objectively good album, just not for me.

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
An amazing album that nails the atmosphere throughout. Clare Torry's vocals are incredible and certainly carry many of the songs, I only wish she had a heavier feature.

Band On The Run
Paul McCartney and Wings
Paul McCartney is someone I didn't think I'd end up listening to in 2025, which is to say that this album sounds a little outdated. But it does still hold up and offers a look into pop music in the 1970s. Not my favorite personally but objectively good.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)
The Kinks
Never heard of them before, and honestly wouldn't care if I never heard them again. Victoria and Yes Sir, No Sir are good songs but dragged down by the rest of the album that's mediocre at best and downright migraine-inducing at worst.

Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park
Linkin Park are a certified classic for a reason. The music sets the mood for the entirety of the album and the vocals only add to this. Definitely an album I could listen to on repeat, though I do wish there was more screamo personally.

This was honestly a breath of fresh air. It was catchy and managed to keep me engaged and listening even when the songs were about 7 minutes long. Truly a great album of its time.

Selling England By The Pound
Genesis
This surprised me since I went into the album expecting your run of the mill whining group of British men (The Kinks certainly put me off bands of this type), but I was pleasantly surprised that there was some art in the vocals! I would definitely say that the instrumentals were the strongest part of this album, I barely felt time passing when listening to the 10-11 minute instrumental tracks. Overall, I would definitely be willing to listen to more of them.
