My Generation
The Who
This album definitely feels like a time piece. I haven't listened to much of The Who's discography before this but I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with the Blues tracks on this project. While most of the blues tracks were okay, most of the pop-rock tracks were a miss for me. Overall, this was an album with a little more hit than miss.

Listening to this album was like jumping through many calm dreams and some turbulent ones as well. This album was unlike something I've heard before.

Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen
With this album, I can see why Bruce Springsteen is widely revered. I never really liked his music or this genre, or at least I thought I did, until I started listening and thinking about the lyrics in each of these tracks. The stories in each track are told masterfully, and the stripped-down instrumentals and the delivery from Springsteen's vocals emphasize the raw emotion in those narratives.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this album.

The White Album
Beatles
This album has many of my favourite tracks that the Beatles have made. This project also has a couple of experimental tracks. I think the most interesting track here is Revolution 9, which I liked because it made me feel scared and vulnerable, rather than how it sounded.

My Aim Is True

I think that this album was decent. I didn't like the washed-out, tinny vocals. I had to listen to this album a couple, too many times, because it felt like most of the tracks sounded the same. This album didn't appeal to me, but I can see how it would for others.

The Who Sell Out
The Who
Was this record composed of ads and jingles? 100% yes, but each track has a poke and a prod about culture at that time, which even has relevance today. I had to listen to this album a couple of times to get the meaning from each song, and while I didn't really like the sound they produced, I did understand what they were trying to achieve here.
Overall, I didn't care much for the production here, but the songwriting was thought-provoking.

Impressive vocals and great performances from the band. This record is packed with upbeat tracks, with only a single song being a lower tempo. I feel like most of the tracks sounded too similar, with the only difference being the vocals at times.

I can't say I liked this record. The stripped-down, experimental synths with the washed-out vocals didn't really tickle my fancy. There was probably some sort of message in the lyrics, but I couldn't get any of them since they were so faded.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Red Hot Chili Peppers
This album had a lot going for it in the first half, and then it falls off drastically. I enjoyed many of the funky tracks and also a number of the heavier rock tracks. The vocals on all tracks were hit or miss due to the goofy sound.
The last half of the album lacks the cohesive songwriting that it had in the first half. I guess not every track has to have an impact, but some of these songs weren't even fun. By the last track, "They're Red Hot", it feels like they weren't even trying.

Elvis Is Back
Elvis Presley
I didn't expect the amount of doo-wop that was in this record, and I am all for it. I enjoyed most of the tracks, and there was enough variety to keep my attention.
The highlights in this track are the blues-heavy tracks, especially in the last track, "Reconsider Baby", where the band puts up a remarkable performance.
There wasn't really a lowlight in this record, but if I had to choose, it would be the sombre tracks, specifically "I Will Be Home Again". It wasn't a bad performance, but it did feel a little out of place considering the brighter tracks in this record.
Favourite Track(s): Thrill of Your Love, Reconsider Baby

Surrealistic Pillow
Jefferson Airplane
This record has its ups and downs for me. I didn't know what to expect, so I planned to see a bunch of folk tracks. I was glad that there was a diverse set of songs here.
Highlights for me in this record were the surprise blues in "In The Morning" and the instrumental performances in "Embryonic Journey".
A lowlight for me was the vocals. The vocals felt underpowered compared to the instrumentals, and overall, I didn't like the vocal tones found here.

Imagine
John Lennon
This is a record with a legendary first track, but unfortunately, the rest of the album can't match its pace. The rest of the songs weren't necessarily bad, but it felt like the quality had gone down with each subsequent track.
Highlights of this record were the instrumental performances, the songwriting, and, obviously, the track 'Imagine'.
A lowlight for me on this record was the lack of a lasting impression outside of 'Imagine'.
Favourite Track(s): Imagine, Crippled Inside

Diamond Life
Sade
Smooth and sexy can be used to describe this record. Most, if not all, songs include a "sexy" sax accompanied by a bumping bass line.
A highlight for me on this album was that saxophone performance. I feel like it just added a little extra to each track.
The only lowlight I could find was that the tracks sounded too similar to each other.

Sign 'O' The Times
Prince
There was a whole lot to love in this record. There is a variety of tracks ranging from R&B, funk, soul and rock.
Highlights on this record for me were the slow songs and more R&B-oriented songs. I also found "Housequake" as a pleasant surprise; I was not expecting a boom bap track in here.
A lowlight that I found on this record was the use of those '80s synths. Those synths are just not for me.

This is one of those records that you play when you're working away or doing something else, but you don't want any silence. It was decent at best, but I don't think I was in the mood for this one. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future.
I couldn't say I had any highlights on this record other than that all the tracks, except for the last one, were decent.
I couldn't find any tracks that stood out in this record, nor were any tracks distinct from each other. This record just felt like a blend of one sound, and I couldn't tell where a track started or ended, which might be a highlight if you're looking for that sort of thing. I am also not a fan of 80s synths, but that's just me.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul
Otis Redding
After hearing this for the first time, I can easily say this has made it onto my all-time favourite records.
I was first indirectly introduced to Otis Redding from one of my favourite movies growing up, called "Are We There Yet?" starring Ice Cube. There was a scene where one of the characters sings 'Respect', but it was Aretha Franklin's rendition. After all these years, I'm glad I can listen to where it all began.
I had many highlights in this record, but I'll list a few. I enjoyed the way that Otis Redding exuded soul in the emotional tracks. The saxophone in most of the songs was a pleasure to listen to. Almost every song on this record is legendary; it's something you've probably listened to before.
I can't say I really had any lowlights in this record. One might be that maybe the tracks could have been organized better. The first track, "Ole Man Trouble," didn't hook me as the others did, and it could have been moved further into the album.
Favourite Track(s): Respect, (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, I've Been Loving You Too Long.
Least Favourite Track(s): Ole Man Trouble

Clube Da Esquina
Milton Nascimento
I couldn't get into this record. The language barrier might play a factor, but I don't think I could get into the melodies and the general sound of this record.
I didn't have many highlights. I enjoyed the heavier rock-oriented songs in this record.
My lowlights, as you my have I have guessed, were the general melodies in many of the songs. The language barrier was also an issue, but that's just my own skill issue.

A Love Supreme
John Coltrane
It's a technical masterpiece. With every listen, a new detail is heard, a new story discovered. This record is like an empty canvas that each performer contributes to and builds off of. Each performer has their chance to shine, and each of them absolutely killed it.
Feeling Coltrane pour an ounce of soul out into the first and last track was a highlight for me. The loss of his presence in Part III makes you yearn for it, and it feels so satisfying when he starts playing again.
I didn't have any lowlights on this record. This record needs a couple of listens to get the ideas that they were going for here.
Favourite Track(s): Part I - Acknowledgement, Part IV - Psalm
Least Favourite Track(s): Part III - Pursuance

Live At The Regal
B.B. King
It's an enjoyable record. Live records can be hit or miss. This record, however, was more hit than miss.
I liked the performances from the band and B.B. King. I thought there was good emotional delivery in the vocals. I was surprised by the lack of guitar presence in this record, although I loved it when it was there. The saxophone and piano performances were also amazing.
I only had a few low points that I noticed. One was sacrificing some of the sound quality because of the live recording. Another was that some of the tracks seemed forgettable.

Pretty good! It's the first time I've listened to a full record from The Beach Boys, and I got what I expected. I enjoyed the vocals in this record.

If this is a country album, I'd love to listen to more country. Honestly, I felt like this album was more of a soul or gospel record. This record is relaxing and dreamy.
I loved how Nelson expresses his feelings throughout this record. His dream-like vocals make me feel like everything is going to be all right. I also find the faint use of the organ throughout many of the tracks on this record.

Freak Out!
The Mothers Of Invention
Some tracks on this record were so painful to listen to that this was the first record I had to skip tracks on. I understand what this record was going for. The genres that they tried to satirize just made some tracks awful to listen to.
I think this record is probably important with the messages that it brings throughout each track, the experimental sounds (that didn't age too well, in my opinion), and the freedom of being able to clown on other genres of music. I found that "It Can't Happen Here" to be particularly relevant to today.

Every track in this record sounded different from the last. I thought that this album started strong, and the quality diminished as it went on.

Nick Drake
What an absolutely beautiful record. I liked the instrumentation in each track. I enjoyed the sombre tones in this record.
This record is the first on my list currently that made me do some research on the artist. Sad to have found out that he passed away young and lived such a troubled life.
Favourite Track(s): Introduction, One Of These Things First

Great mix of soul and folk. I enjoyed most of the tracks, the songwriting, and the production. My only critique is that most of the track sounds too same-y and sounds bland at times.

Ready To Die
The Notorious B.I.G.
Amazing record. Loved the production and enjoyed Biggie's flow. I liked the samples that were put together here.
I couldn't really enjoy the misogynistic lyrics which also encourages domestic abuse. The skits were also weird as hell.
Favourite Track(s): Machine Gun Funk, Juicy

Rest in Peace, Ozzy.

The Next Day
David Bowie
The record was good enough. There was a constant stream of good songs. It fell off in the middle with "I'd Rather Be High", then started to pick up again in the latter part of the album.
