Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair

Overly repetitive but a couple good songs

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

Want One by Rufus Wainwright

Good album overall. This is definitely something for musicians to hear. The way he weaves in themes from well known classical works was really quite something in this album.

Honky Tonk Masquerade by Joe Ely

Good old fashioned country (or western?) music. Enjoyed listening to this even though I am not a big country music fan.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip

I don’t generally like this genre, but this was really quite good. High production values, and I found myself toe tapping along.

Tapestry by Carole King

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by Dead Kennedys

Just wasn’t my style, but I can see why it was an important album

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

Really mellow, much different style than I am used to from XTC

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

An absolute classic. It is easy to see how this album became so influential.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Strange album. Some great songs, but others not so much. Roundabout and Long Distance Runaround are the standouts.

The Grand Tour by George Jones

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things

Let's Stay Together by Al Green

Graceland by Paul Simon

It would be difficult to overstate how big this album was when ot was forst released. Bolstered by MTV, and not that long after Simon and Garfunkel had a big success with their concert in Central Park, this album was massive, opening Paul to a completely new audience. This album is great, top to bottom. My personal favorite is the duet with Linda Ronstadt, Under African Skies. Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes is also fantastic. Great poece of misic history in this release.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

Thriller by Michael Jackson

This is one of the best selling albums of all time for a reason. It is hard to overstate how important and ground breaking this was. I sometimes wonder what will survive culturally 500 years from now, like Shakespeare as a touchstone to current culture, that has stood the test of time. I am certain this will be one of those cultural touchstones.

Stardust by Willie Nelson

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons

Document by R.E.M.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra

Just not my thing

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

Both a career and genre defining album, this showcases exactly why Depeche Mode is in the Rock Hall, and why they influenced so many who came after them. Never let me down again, Strangelove, Little 15, and Behind the Wheel are all classics, but don’t overlook The Things you Said, I Want You Now, or Pimpf. Just a great album, no skip, top to bottom.

The Stooges by The Stooges

Doolittle by Pixies

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
